Highlights of Ilaveezhapoonchira
Tree-Less Green Meadows
The surrounding hillocks are entirely devoid of large trees, creating massive, uninterrupted rolling green carpets.
Kannadipara (Mirror Rock)
The highest vantage point in the range, famous for massive rock sheets that reflect the sunlight and offer panoramic valley views.
Unmatched Sunrises & Sunsets
Because of its towering altitude (about 3,200 feet above sea level), watching the mist roll over the valleys at dawn is a bucket-list experience for photographers and nature lovers.
