The Vagamon glass bridge is the first glass bridge in Kerala. It is made of five layers of 40mm glass that was imported from Germany, and 35 tonnes of steel support the entire glass construction. The steel pillars on the mountain's summit are joined by six metal cables that support the bridge.[2] The bridge has been designed and constructed with a private partnership under the Idukki DTPC. It was completed at a cost of ₹3 crores (₹30,000,000) and was opened to public on 25 August 2023. From here, the distant view of places like Koottikkal, Kokkayar, Mundakkayam can be seen.[3]
