Ayyampara, 2000 ft above sea level, is spread over an area of 20 acres. The name is originated from the Lord Ayyappa temple situated here.
The place is a base for trekking expeditions also. It is a little-known scenic spot of rocky plains where a 100-acre area of flat rock makes a natural granite stadium to enjoy the sunset.
It is believed that the Pandavas were stayed near this rock during their exile.
Ayyampara is 43 km from Kottayam. Kottayam Railway Station is the convenient major railhead. Cochin International Airport is the nearest airport.
