This suspension bridge is build across Periyar river connecting two local panachayaths. It is surrounded by picturesque scenery and an old temple dedicated to the deity Shastha is situated near to the bridge.
While we were there, the temple was submerged as the water levels of Idukki reservoir was high due to monsoon rains. Usually on summer months one can reach the temple just by walking.
