All places consist of wet evergreen plants. Hard working farmers of this place play an important role to make this happen. The main vegetation occurs due to rubber plantations which cover 50% of the area. Coconut trees, cocoa, bamboo and other plants can be found here.

The Pannagam river which flows almost around the year also keeps this vegetation.
