Paniyely
locally known as Pooru is about 14 km from Kuruppampdy
and 60 km from Cochin (Kochi). In spite of its shortcomings
and relative inaccessibility, Paniyely is a must visit
destination for those who cherish nature, peace and
tranquility. Paniyely is where the river Periyar comes
in touch with human habitation after flowing between
densely forested areas beyond Kothamangalam. The private
bus operators insufficiently service Paniyely.

Paniyely
is one of the important places in the tourist map of
Kerala, India and different tour packages are available
with various tour operators. |

The
banks of the river above the cataracts are reserve forest
land. Both the banks are thickly wooded till just near
the water line and the river flowing turbulently between
these forests is a worthy view. The southern shore of
the river is an ideal picnic spot. |

The
shade provided by the bamboo groves and majestic ethnic
trees, the vistas of the river and the forests and the
distant mountains, the cool river breeze and the majestic
silence of the environs contribute to making the riverside
at Paniyely a superb destination for a daytime getaway. |

Swimming in the river is not recommended.
The river bed is mostly rock and unexpected narrow but
deep shafts on the river bottom makes wading into the
river a risky preposition. Breaking a leg is not ruled
out! |
