Participants got an opportunity to visit
the legendary Muziris heritage sites on
the way. The key aim of the paddling
event was to promote the usage of
our rivers for recreational and create a
connection to the river with youngsters
and tourists.
“Muziris Paddle was a great way
to experience Kerala through its
water bodies and be part of the
growing eco and responsible tourism
initiatives. We stopped at various
schools, met children and explained
them the concept of kayaking and
paddling sports. Kayak for a cause is
helping in creating more awareness
about the conservation of river and
to retain its original beauty”, says
Kaushiq Kodithodi, Founder, Jellyfish
Watersports.
