How To Reach Ilaveezha Poonchira Viewpoint
Kottayam, Kerala, India
Ilaveezha Poonchira is a mesmerizing hill station and viewpoint located in the lap of the Western Ghats, near Kanjar in Kottayam. The name literally translates to "a pond of flowers where no leaves fall," a phenomenon attributed to the lack of trees on the surrounding hills, which keeps the valley pristine and leaf-free. This destination is unique because it is surrounded by three massive hillocks—Mankunnu, Kodayathoormala, and Thonippara—which rise to a height of over 3000 feet. The vast expanse of green meadows and the absence of dense forests create a landscape that looks like it belongs in the Scottish Highlands rather than tropical India. During the monsoon season, the valley between these hills transforms into a large, beautiful pond, adding a surreal touch to the already stunning scenery. It is one of the few places in Kerala where one can witness both the sunrise and the sunset from a single vantage point. The drive to the top is an adventure in itself, involving steep climbs and winding roads that offer breathtaking views of the plains below. For trekkers and nature lovers, Ilaveezha Poonchira is a paradise that remains relatively untouched by commercial tourism. The tranquility of the place is its greatest asset, offering a quiet retreat from the bustling city life of Kottayam. Legend has it that the Pandavas stayed here during their exile, and the pond was a favorite bathing spot for Draupadi. Whether you are an adventure seeker looking for a challenging trek or a photographer hunting for the perfect golden hour shot, this hilltop offers an experience that is both spiritually and visually rewarding.
