Tranquil Paniyeli Poru is a perfect one day getaway near Perumbavoor town in Ernakulam district and is 55 kilometers from Kochi. Paniyeli Poru can be assessed from Kochi - Munnar highway after Perumbavoor town by taking a right deviation from MGM school junction, Kuruppampady. Here the Periyar river flows through strata of rocks and forests which is a stupendous sight. This land is copious with large diversity of mangroves, trees, birds and butterflies. The water is clear and chilling even in this hot summer time. Tourists must be extra careful while stepping into this river having clusters of slippery rocks and undercurrents even though the water is only few feet deep.
