Aruvappulam is a remote village in the south eastern corner of Pathanamthitta district in the state of Kerala, India.[1] Aruvappulam is a grama panchayat (village council) within Konni Thaluk. The highest point in the district Devar Mala is situated in the village. A sizeable portion of the village is within Konni Reserve Forest. The village shares a border with Tamil Nadu, but there is no interstate road connecting the village with the neighbouring state.
