Kumplampoika is a village in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala, India.
Kumplampoika evolved out of "Kumbhi Ulavum Poika" which literally connotes the presence of "Kumbhi" (elephant) in the village until a few hundred years back.
There are three churches, temples, branches of major banks, library (Bodleian library, RegNo. 03 RNI 1797 affiliated by State Library council), co-operative societies, a retail market, and a vegetable market.
Kumplampoika is 8 km equidistant from Pathanamthitta and Ranni.
The main contribution to the economy is in the form of remittance from NRIs and rubber plantations and other low scale farm cultivation.
