Located at distance of 55 kms from Kottayam and 20 kms from Thodapuzha,
this is another picnic spot located in the midst of the beautiful
hillocks near Kanjar.
Ilaveezhpoonchira,
means the 'valley where leaves don't fall' and is so named because the
place has no trees. This is also one of the best places in Kerala to
witness the sunrise and sunset. It is easily accessible from Palai in
Kottayam district.
The beautiful valleys of Ilaveezhapoonchira are spread across thousands
of acres of the district of Kottayam. The place is surrounded by three
enchanting hillocks: Mankunnu, Kodayathoormal and Thonippara, making the
place ideal for trekking.
The verdant landscape punctuated by four gigantic hills, each rising to
about 3200 feet above sea level is an ideal place to unwind. During the
monsoons when the valley fills up to form a scenic lake, this place
unveils yet another beautiful slice of nature. |
