Madavoorpara
Madavoorpara, perched 300 feet above sea level, is a hidden gem in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, cherished by pilgrims and tourists alike. This lesser-known destination is renowned for its ancient cave temple and the unique Bamboo Bridge, offering visitors a blend of historical intrigue and natural beauty.
At the heart of Madavoorpara lies the rock-cut Shiva Temple, dating back to the 9th Century CE. This temple, now under the protection of the Department of Archaeology, features a pillar with inscriptions in Vattezhuthu, the ancient Malayalam script. The temple’s archaeological and historical significance draws researchers and culture enthusiasts, making it a site of immense interest.
Madavoorpara is not just about history; it offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. The 100-meter-long Bamboo Bridge is a highlight, leading visitors up the hill to a tranquil, secluded space. The bamboo huts atop the rock provide a panoramic view of the lush green surroundings, creating a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection.
The area also features a park equipped with swings and slides, making it a family-friendly destination. Another notable attraction is the Ganga Theertham, an evergreen sacred pond located atop the rugged hill, near a distinctive leafless white-branched tree.
Beyond its historical and natural allure, Madavoorpara offers a peaceful retreat. The tranquil environment, coupled with the melodies of birds, provides a perfect escape from the mundane routine of daily life. Whether you are a history buff, nature lover, or simply seeking a serene getaway, Madavoorpara promises a unique and enriching experience.
