Advances in wireless technology have made routing popular. Routing is vital research feature in the Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs). The role of the protocol is to increase overall throughput and the packet delivery ratio in MANETs. This paper proposes a Power Aware Multipath AODV Routing Protocol (PAMAODV) for MANETs. The main goal is to find a stable route by selecting power efficient path between source and destination. In addition it aims to reduce the control packets overhead. The Simulation is done using NS-2. The results show that PAMAODV has more packet delivery ratio and throughput compared with the traditional AODV protocol. The packet loss ratio of PAMAODV is also less than AODV, which shows that proposed protocol is efficient than AODV.
