All other interdistrict river borders are formed by Pampa river which splits into three, near to the east of the village. One of the splits flows northwest and immediately merges with Manimala river forming a border with Thiruvanvandoor towards its northeast. The other two splits forms its island of Parumala of which the outer split shares a border with Pandanad, Ennakkad and Mannar towards its southeast. After merging, the splits flows westard sharing a border with Kurattissery towards the south of the village and Veeyapuram towards its southwest.[3][4]
