'''Poochakkal''' is part of a small [[island]] consisting Arookutty, Panavally, Thycattusserry and Pallippuram Panchayaths close to the [[Kerala Backwaters]] in [[Kerala, India]]. Until the [[Kerala_Legislative_Assembly_election,_2006|2006 Kerala Assembly Elections]], Poochakkal was part of the [[Cherthala]] LAC. After delimitation from the 2011 elections, it became a part of [[Aroor]] LAC.
==Location==

Poochakkal is located about 2 miles (3.22 km) from Vaduthala(Arookutty), 8 miles (14 km) from Cherthala, about 5 miles (8 km) from Vaikom, 12 miles (20 km) from Vytilla Hub and 15 miles (25 km) from Ernakulam.

==Economy==
The economy was based on a water transportation system. Its water canal connects the eastern and western parts of [[Vembanadu Lake]]. Now it is directly connected to NH47 at two places by new road bridges at Aroor and Thuravoor. Also new bridge is under construction connecting to Vaikom.
