Pothamedu View Point

Overview

Hemmed in by the richly verdant hills of the Western Ghats, the hill station of Munnar offers visitors many vantage points to enjoy the prospects of its beautiful landscapes. Located on one of these enviable vantage points is Pothanmedu, on the Bison Valley Road, almost at the entry point to the hill town, 3km away. Bison Valley is named after its population of Indian gaur, which is found plentifully here.
