Tucked away in Ernakulam district, Paniyeli Poru translates to “place of fights” – a hint to the dramatic encounter between the Periyar River and rocky formations. Imagine the mighty river carving its way through lush greenery, creating rapids and a mesmerizing waterfall.
This eco-tourism destination is a scenic escape, roughly 55 kilometers from Ernakulam city. A well-maintained 1.5km riverside path allows visitors to witness the Periyar’s raw beauty. The gushing water and vibrant surroundings create a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for nature lovers and photographers.
While the cascading waterfall is a visual treat, the true power of Paniyeli Poru unfolds during the monsoon, when the rapids roar back to life. So, for a taste of Kerala’s natural drama, Paniyeli Poru offers a refreshing escape within easy reach of Ernakulam.
