Pamba River is one of the longest and most sacred rivers in Kerala, flowing through the dense forests of the Western Ghats. Often called the “Dakshina Ganga,” it holds deep spiritual and cultural importance in the state. The river originates from the hills of Idukki district and travels through scenic landscapes before merging with the Vembanad Lake.

The river is closely connected with the famous Sabarimala pilgrimage. Devotees take a holy dip in the river at Pamba before beginning their trek to the hill shrine, making it an important spiritual stop. Surrounded by lush greenery and forested hills, the riverbank offers a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere.

Apart from its religious significance, Pamba River supports agriculture, local communities, and wildlife along its course. During the monsoon, the river appears full and majestic, while in winter it looks calm and serene, making it a beautiful natural attraction in Kerala.
