In this paper, we propose Mobile Agent based Energy Efficient Reliable routing protocol for MANET.At first the protocol uses a link cost metric such as Network Load in terms of node burthen degree and bandwidth usable degree, Minimum Drain Rate (MDR) for energy consumption and Link availability.The mobile agents are randomly organized and transfer hop by hop until the destination is reached.Hence, from each hop they traverse, they collect the information related to the above metrics and a combined list cost metric is estimated based on these metrics.Finally, after collecting information's from agents multiple paths are established first and then the source selects the optimal path using the path cost metric, which is the summation of link cost metric along the path.
