Chirayinkil Railway Station

Today, there is a people's reaction at Chirayinkil Railway station. I saw a group of people passing the railway platform and their voice is like that ''We want stop for Parasuram Express". I wonder that why Railway Department is avoiding Chirayinkil Railway station????? There are a huge number of passenger from Chirayinkil, the revenue of railway is increasing due to the passengers from Chirayinkil. People reacted for this many times as they can, But no use for that......Hope Railway department will consider our needs.

Perumathura - Pozhi

Perumathura Pozhi is 15KM away from Kazhakkoottam junction. If you seek a calm and cool place for spending a weekend this is the right place to be in.The water is calm. The sky a faint ocher, illuminating the coconut palms on the fringes of the land.Get one of the boatmen to take you to Perumathura Pozhi . The rate is negotiable.

Major attraction

Soak in the cool, salubrious air in this natural oxygen bar. Soon, the nascent rays of the sun flood Kadinamkulam Kayal.Kakkathuruthu are a major attraction of the villages. Here you need the help of boatmen. Kerala State Road Transport Corporation runs buses between Perumathura and Poovar, an emerging tourist destination. There is a lone eatery at Kadinamkulam. Night stay is well nigh impossible.

The two villages are ideal to laze around on a holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. When dusk falls, it is a short drive back – backbreaking for 5 km up to Kaniyapuram, and then zipping for 20 km on the National Highway 47 to the city.

Nature has endowed lavishly to the beauty of Perumathura. The golden sand beaches, Muthala pozhi, the backwaters, the traditional way of ladies spinning coir, the coconut groves, coconut trees with multiple trunks, snake boats and ‘kettuvallams’ are the most important attractions. This is a place free of environmental pollutions. So come to Perumathura, to savor the simple, clean life and the rich scenic beauty with which God has so lavishly endowed this land.
