(Note:. It is an important water way of Central Travancore. Rising in the hills of Kottayam-Idukki ranges, the river flows through the midland plains and joins with Pampa and Manimala junction. The river offers a beautiful view at this spot and flows swiftly striking against the many rocks in the river.)
