A new water transport initiative is set to commence in Kerala's Muziris region, with water taxis and kayaks beginning operations from multiple jetties across the North Paravur-Kodungallor corridor. The service launch, scheduled for October 4, will utilise 14 boat jetties distributed across the region on the Ernakulam-Thrissur administrative border.
The expansion of water-based transport infrastructure reflects efforts to develop alternative mobility options in the region and tap the tourism potential of the historic Muziris waterway. The multi-jetty network is expected to improve connectivity across the North Paravur-Kodungallor area while offering residents and visitors new modes of transport.
The initiative aligns with Kerala's broader focus on revitalising its waterway infrastructure and promoting eco-friendly transport solutions. Officials expect the service to enhance accessibility across the region while contributing to the development of water-based tourism in the Muziris heritage area.
Details regarding operational timings, fare structures, and booking procedures for the water taxis and kayaks are expected to be announced closer to the launch date.
