Geography
Nestled in the lap of the Silent Valley–Western Ghats mountain ranges, a treasure trove of biodiversity, the Wandoor Block Panchayat region is situated at an elevation of approximately 200 to 300 feet above sea level. Currently, this block panchayat comprises 11 revenue villages (Mambad, Pullipadam, Trikkalangode, Karakkunnu, Elankur, Thiruvali, Wandoor, Porur, Pandikkad, Vettikattiri, and Chembrassery) spanning across 6 Grama Panchayats: Pandikkad, Porur, Wandoor, Mambad, Trikkalangode, and Thiruvali.
Encompassing three rivers—Chaliyar, Kuthirappuzha, and Olippuzha—along with numerous small and large streams and their corresponding watershed areas, this block region is generally fertile. Spanning an area of 318.97 square kilometers, the region features diverse soil types. Since the industrial sector has not achieved sufficient growth in the block area, economic development remains closely tied to the agricultural sector. The population of Wandoor Block Panchayat primarily consists of farmers, agricultural laborers, and daily wage workers.
