Thumpamon is a village near Pandalam (5 km Approx) in Kerala, India. One of the greatest attractions of this village is the Achenkovil River, which is renowned for its natural sceneries along the riverbank. The village relies on Non-resident Indian (NRIs) and crops like rubber, coconut, paddy and pepper. Because of Non-Resident Indians, this is one of the wealthiest villages in Kerala. Thumpamon is divided into two regions, Thumpamon North and Thumpamon South, by the Achenkovil River.
A legend here exists of a historical figure called Mathew the Merv. He is said to be the creator of this part of Kerala. Historians however doubt the existence of such a person.
