Parunthumpara is a small village, located between Peermade and Thekkady in Indian state of Kerala's Idukki District.
The word Parunth, means Eagle and Para means rock.
It is called Parunthumpara or eagle rock due to the presence of a large rock surrounding an area like an eagle.
Parunthumpara is six km from Peerumade on National Highway 220
This area provides a bird’s eye view of an never-ending stretch of green forest land and low-lying areas.
This hill station stands out for its sprawling grasslands where the families can stopover and enjoy a few quiet moments, away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
A perfect choice for those who wish to have a holiday off the beaten track and to explore the unseen and the unexplored beauty of the pristine forests around,
The District Tourism Promotion Council plans to develop Parunthumpara as a hill station and as a stopover place for tourists who come from Kumarakom to Thekkady.
Parunthumpara, near Peerumade, is a trekkers' delight that provides a
bird's eye view of an endless stretch of green forest land and
low-lying areas.
A narrow, but well-maintained, road from Kallar Junction leads to this hill station which has wide grasslands to spend some quiet moments.
However, the steep hills also pose a threat to reckless visitors. There are a few deep slopes and one should be careful while visiting Parunthumpara.
There are two main roads through which the domestic and international tourists reach the district — from Nedumbassery to Munnar and from Kumarakom to Thekkady. Between these main tourism destinations, there are a few must-see places and Parunthumpara
Sabarimala pilgrims visit the area to witness makarajyothi, making it a busy place during the pilgrimage season.
