With more than half the area under forest cover, and blessed with rivers and scenic valleys, Pathanamthitta is a treat for the eyes.

The holy river Pamba originates from here and the district also has many prominent Hindu and Christian pilgrim centres like Sabarimala and Maramon.

Places of historic importance like Niranom, Manjanikkara and Mannady are in Pathanamthitta. Other attractions include the unique Aranmula mirror, Aranmula boat race and a centre for learning traditional arts and Kalarippayattu.

Another important facet of the district is that one third of the electricity produced in the State originates from here.
