The Blue Yonder was set up as a travel company based out of Bangalore (Karnataka), four years back (end of 2003) to bring in attention of the world to the status of sadly depleted and neglected Bharatapuzha River (River Nila) in the North of Kerala in India and to help raise funds for Nila Foundation that works to revive and regenerate the dying river. “A river is often the thread that weaves lives and traditions in an ageless manner. A river sustains a civilisation.” What was once the life line of Northern Kerala, is today a decaying, dying river. It is out of concern for the River Nila (Bharatapuzha), – the erosion of the river banks, the dilution of its culture, neglect and depletion of its resources – that some of us got together to set up Nila Foundation.
