Cherpunkal is located in the heart of the Kottayam district in central Kerala. The defining geographical feature of the village is the Meenachil River, which flows gently through the area, shaping its landscape and soil fertility.
The surrounding environment is a classic example of Kerala's midlands (Idanadu), bridging the gap between the coastal plains and the mountainous Western Ghats. The landscape is thoroughly tropical, blanketed in a dense canopy of coconut palms, rubber trees, and diverse native flora. The fertile riverbanks have historically supported a rich variety of natural resources, making the soil highly conducive to intensive agriculture.
