Mookkannoor is a serene and green village in Ernakulam district, known for its calm atmosphere and close connection to nature. Located away from the congestion of city life, the area offers a peaceful environment that supports healing, recovery, and overall well-being—making it an ideal location for healthcare services like MAGJ Hospital.
Surrounded by lush greenery, backwater streams, and agricultural landscapes, Mookkannoor reflects the true rural charm of Kerala. The nearby Periyar River, the lifeline of the district, flows through this region, enriching the land and adding to its natural beauty. Places such as Kalady, the birthplace of Saint Adi Shankara, and Kodanad, known for its elephant training centre, are easily accessible from Mookkannoor.
The largest river of Kerala, the Periyar flows into the district on its last leg. One can catch up with the river at Kalady, the pilgrim spot of Saint Adi Sankara and Kodanad, where there is an elephant groove or move up to Bhuthathankettu where there is a bird sanctuary.
