Kallayi, once a timber hub, now charms visitors with its colonial bridge and serene riverside sunsets.
Once a bustling hub for the timber trade during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was home to numerous timber mills that supported the region’s economy. Although only a few of these mills remain today, Kallayi retains its old-world charm, echoing tales of its industrious past. Kallayi Bridge, a colonial-era structure built by the British, offers a panoramic view of the river and the surrounding greenery. It is one of the best spots in the area to enjoy a spectacular sunset, where the sky is painted with hues of orange and gold over the tranquil river waters. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a photographer, or simply someone in search of peace, Kallayi promises a quiet retreat infused with cultural richness.
