In kerala most of the residences are made in a typical style house mostly seen in drawings. The roof are made of red clay tiles.
People over here are friendly, and the food is just too good, the common feats over here is Sadya, which is on a banana leaf and you have to use your fingers to eat it. it contains of Payasam the dessert, Sambar, Rasam, Olan, Kaalan, Khichadi are there in this dish. This treat is for vegeterians, but for all you Non-veg lovers you have delicious food, sea food, biryani you all will like to have it.
I did heard a lot about kerala's beauty before i visited the place, but once i visited the place i totally agreed to everything whatever is said about this place.
I went to Kanyakumari the end of south india, there is a famous temple Suchindrum in which if you have to enter then you have to wear Dhoti which is compulsory to wear if you want to enter the temple, so there are many shops near by the temple selling dhotis so you can but them and wear & go in Temple.
I also went to Thiruvalluvar which is on the islands of kanyakumari. you need to take a ferry boat to go to this place from Kanyakumari. Also visited swami vivekanand rock memorial where swami ji used to come and meditate. You should alo see the sunrise & sunset it is beautifull at this place.
The most famous beach over here is Kovalam where you will find most of the tourist & the other is Shanmugham. Also over here is Ananthapadmanabhaswamy temple which is also beautifull.
Also do take the boat ride at Alleppy, and i can assure you all that you will enjoy this boat ride. Allepy is also called 'Venice of the East' because this palce is similar to Venice.
Guruvayur has the temple of Lord Krishna which again is a place viisited by most of the people. Munnar is also one of the place to ben necause its has the highest point above sea-level in south india. The home made choclates over here are so yummy it just brings water to your mouth. aslo you can see some tea plantations & Rubber plantations and you can walk in these plantations.
I have visited this place once but just for a span of 4 days, but i would really like to visit this place again but for a much longer stay then this as this place has so much more to offer.
Hope if any of you plan to visit india then do visit Kerala also you will like it.

...canals that criss-cross a typical Kerala Village,rich with green paddy fields and verdant coconut trees and is a thrilling experience. The boat cruise takes you to small islets tucked away amidst those waters where you get glimpses of village at the best of its serenity and innocence.The total length of the backwater stretches over 1500 km, with a network of 44 rivers, lagoons and lakes from north to south Kerala.The boats cross shallow, palm-fringed ... ...narrow, shady canals where coir (coconut fibre), copra (dried coconut meat ) and cashews are loaded on to boats. Along the way are small settlements where people live on narrow bits of reclaimed land. Although surrounded by water, locals house their cattle as well as cultivate small vegetable gardens within these quaint surroundings. Prawn and fish, including the prized karimeen, are also farmed.
There are numerous backwater routes to choose from. ...

Advantages: Once in a lifetime experience Disadvantages: building works now in progress
...cruise on the Backwaters of Kerala is something every person has the right to experience. Gliding on a long boat, the sound of silence and mistique is unique. Kingfishers darting past, the cuckoo searching for food. A woodpecker noisily pecks at a tree. See pineapples growing out of the ground. Indian families bathing, washing their clothes, staring curiously. The tranquility has to be experienced. Progress has unfortunately caught up with this place, ... ...be built on the banks of the backwaters, this is surely tourism gone mad. This is a place to cherish not exploit. Close your eyes and imagine your in a bounty advert. A stop at the bridge for a welcome drink in the heat is a sight to behold, school children learning to swim on dry land. The turning point for the long boat to slowly take you back to the landing point. A trip which will stay in your mind for ever. ...

Advantages: beautiful golden sandy beaches, tropical –lush, green location, Ayurvedic treatments, whole of Kerala offers a wide experience – quiet backwaters –vivid colours culture,wildlife, fishing etc Disadvantages: none..
From the moment I entered Kerala; which is fondly referred to as “God’s own country”, I knew this place was something special quite unlike the other parts of India I had visited. It was here; amidst the lush green surroundings, the acres of palm trees and the quiet and tranquil backwaters of Kerala that I found paradise; miles of untouched golden sandy beaches – in a place called Kovalum.
Kerala; the State is situated in Southern India, covering an area of approx. 40,000 square miles. It offers a diverse terrain with the Western Ghat heights to one side that border with adjoining States of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and the beautiful Lakshadweep Sea to other side. The sweeping western coastlines make this one of India’s most beautiful sandy beach resorts; which is better known as Kovalum.
