'''Thumpamon''' is a village in [[Pandalam]](5 km Approx), a part of [[Adoor]] thaluk in [[Kerala]], [[India]]. One of the greatest attractions of this village is the [[Achankovil|Achenkovil]] River, which is known for its natural sceneries along the riverbank. The village relies on [[Non-resident Indian]] (NRIs) and crops like rubber, coconut, paddy and pepper. But, the most common crop in the village is rubber. 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.
