Ilaveezhapoonchira
Located at distance of 55 kms from Kottayam and 20 kms from Thodupuzha, this is another picnic spot located in the midst of the beautiful hillocks near Kanjar.

Spread over a thousand acres, this beautiful land locked by green hillocks skirts the Kottayam district.

Ilaveezhpoonchira, means the 'valley where leaves don't fall' and is so named because there is not even a single tree in the vicinity. This is special since the district is filled with backwaters and greenery.

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 monsoon when the valley gets filled up to form a scenic lake, Ilaveezhapoonchira unveils yet another beautiful slice of God's favourite spot on earth. This is also one of the best places in Kerala to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset. The area would give the visitor a moment to cherish from a tryst with nothingness.
