Ilaveezhapoonchira

Nestled 15 kilometers from Thodupuzha and 60 kilometers from Kottayam, Elaveezha Poonchira is a charming hill station perched at an elevation of 3200 feet above sea level. Accessible via a thrilling jeep ride through rugged, unpaved mountainous terrain, this hidden gem is known for its barren landscape, dominated by the picturesque 'Poonchira' lake. During monsoons, the area transforms into a captivating river due to heavy rainfall. The region's rocky cliffs, contours, and crevices attract trekkers, mountaineers, and adventure enthusiasts, offering both established trails and opportunities for creating new ones. From the mountain peak, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Malankara Dam and the surrounding paradise. Elaveezha Poonchira also boasts burial chambers, tribal settlements, and intriguing caves like Nilavara and Pandavan Guha, adding to its allure for tourists.
