Parunthumpara is a small
village, located between Peermade and Thekkady. The word parunth
in the local language means Eagle and para means rock. It is called
Parunthumpara or eagle rock because of a large area around like an eagle. It is
6kms from Peermade, 25kms from Thekkady & 3 kms From National Highway
Locals calling this point as suicide point,
because of the fearful trenches in one side. Eagle Rock is
actually a large, nearly circular piece of rock spread across half a kilometer.
From its height, it offers a panoramic view of the surrounding
countryside-rocky plains, lush hillsides and verdant forests. Parunthumpara,
is a trekkers' delight that provides a
bird's eye view of an endless stretch of green forest land and low-lying areas.
This hill station which has wide grasslands is a good place 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.
The place offer a splendid
view of the green forest and also one can get a panoramic view of sabarimala forests. It’s an ecotourism point.
