The beautiful panoramic hillock of Mannanam lies at an altitude of 150 feet from the sea level. The senery all around Mannanam is enchanting. Looking to the west one can see the vast paddy fields and coconut groves extending up to the back waters of Kumarakom. The setting sun at the Arabian see is a magnificient scene in the evening. The west side of the hillock is washed by the waters extending from the back waters of Vembanad on the eastern side of Kuttanad. On the south of Mannanam lies the Kottayam Medical College and on the north the Mahatma Gandhi University Campus. The M.C. road passes some 4 kms east of Mannanam and it is 12 kms north west of Kottayam, the district head quarters.
