Veliyathunad is a village spread over Aluva Taluk and Paravur Taluk of Eranakulam district in the Indian state of Kerala. Veliyathunad is situated near Aluva town. Veliyathunad is one of rarest greenery sights in Eranakulam District: even though Veliyathunad people have all the benefits of a rural area they face few of the problems of other rural areas.
Veliyathunad is a part of Karumalloor panchayat and is situated 7 kilometers from Aluva Railway Station, 10 kilometers from North Paravur Bus Stand and 12 kilometers from Cochin International Airport. The village is bounded by distributaries of the Periyar river. It consists of large tracts of paddy fields and is mainly a rice-based agrarian economy. However, due to losses in paddy farming many farmers have recently changed to banana farms.
