Called 'Eagle Rock' due to its bird's-eye perspective over vast valleys and deep forest gorges. Watch golden light dance across rolling tea estates and mist clouds that drift right through your hands as evening settles over Peerumedu.
Parunthumpara ('Eagle Rock' in Malayalam) is situated between Peermade and Thekkady. The rocky plateau stands like an eagle's perch high above endless emerald hills, thick forest ravines, and Sabarimala forest corridors.
On clear evenings, the sun sinks in fiery gold and crimson hues over the Western Ghats mountain silhouette, while waves of white fog cascade over the cliff face. It is arguably Kerala's most cinematic sunset viewpoint for photography and romantic strolls.
