Mythical pond at the hills

A pond-like water body known as 'Poonchira' may be seen below the slopes. Tourists can have some fun by spending some quality time on the banks of this pond, whose name is mentioned in traditions of Pandavas' banishment. Draupadi, Pandavas' wife, is said to have taken a swim in the pond, and it was the King of Devas, Indra, who erected the hillocks surrounding the tranquil water body to keep the evil glances of the other devas at bay. The waters of this Poonchira have not dried up since then, even in the sweltering heat of the summer sun. Furthermore, this specific incident had also resulted in the name of the location, as there are still just flowers and no trees at the top to shed their leaves.
