About Pamba River
The Pamba River, also known as the Pampa River, is the third-longest river in Kerala, after the Periyar and Bharathappuzha rivers.
The river is also known as “Dakshina Bhageerathi” or the “Ganga of Kerala.” It holds great religious and cultural significance because of its close association with the Sabarimala Temple.
Origin and Course
The Pamba River originates at an altitude of about 1,650 metres from Pulachimalai Hill on the Peerumedu Plateau of the Western Ghats.
The river flows through Kerala and ultimately reaches the Arabian Sea, where it branches into several channels before meeting the sea.
Pamba River Basin
The entire catchment area of the Pamba River lies within Kerala. The basin is bounded by the Western Ghats in the east and the Arabian Sea in the west.
Major Tributaries
The important tributaries of the Pamba River include Kakki Ar, Azhuta Ar, Kakkad Ar, Kallar, Manimala and Achenkovil.
