Kodoor River


Kodoor River is a river between Kottayam and Alappuzha districts, Kerala, India.
Kodoor River has a long history with the old trading routes between the coastal district Alapuzha and the eastern villages of Kottayam. There was a busy jetty at Puthuppally named Angadi, which means market. The river is originated from the beautiful hills in between Kottayam and Pathanamthitta districts and finally empties into the Meenachil River.

Water Hyacinth

In July 2016, the cleaning of the Kodoor river was taken up to clear the water Hyacinth and make the way for Kottayam-Alappuzha boat service from Kodimatha boat jetty. In May 2019, once again the water Hyacinth was removed to restore the 3.5km waterway from Kanjiram to Kodimatha. Kerala also found a novel way to get rid of Hyacinth.
