The first phase of Jatayu Nature Park, a much awaited tourism destination in Kerala, was inaugurated last month. The park is named after the mythical bird from Ramayana; Jatayu, who tried to rescue Sita from Ravana when she was abducted. The nature park aims at promoting mythology, adventure and wellness tourism in India. Located in Chadayamangalam village in Kollam district of Kerala, this rock theme park is a treat to the eyes as well as an adventure for tourists. The nature park also has an adventure zone and over 20 games including paint ball, archery, rifle shooting, rock climbing, bouldering etc.
Spread over 65 acres of land, the park houses a giant sculpture of Jatayu. The sculpture sits atop the rock where Jatayu is believed to have taken his last breath after fighting with Ravana. The sculpture has a 6D theatre and an audio-visual based digital museum inside it. For the health enthusiasts, the park contains Ayurvedic cave resorts. The attraction is the breathtaking view of the surrounding which is about 1000 feet above sea level.
