Skirting the Kottayam District are the beautiful valleys of Elaveezhapoonchira, spread over thousands of acres in Melukavu village of Meenachil Taluk. The pristine beauty of nature is preserved almost intact here in the imposing mountain ranges with rocky cliffs. The verdant landscape is punctuated by five gigantic hills viz. Vindhyanmedu, Hidumbanmedu, Mankallumudi.
Kolanimudi and Mukalanthumudi each rising to around 3200ft. Elaveezhapoonchira means valley where leaves don’t fall and is named so because the place has no trees. Perhaps, this may be the only spot in Kerala from where one can see the beautiful phenomenon of sunrise and sunset in the same spot. The vast horizon gives a panoramic view of the surrounding five districts. During the monsoons when the valley fills up to form a scenic lake, this place unveils yet another beautiful slice of nature. The panoramic view of the Malankara dam just below the hill is an exquisite site for the visitors.
