Kerala is one of the states in India and its situated at the south of India. one thing i can assure is this place is one of greenest.
Kerala is another place where you as a tourist will love to go.
Kerala Shares border with Tamil Nadu & Karnataka. The language which is commonly spoken over here is Malayalam, people from here are known as keralites or Malyalees. Another name for this place Land of Cocounut, some say this is the meaning of kerala in Malyalam Language.

The climate in kerala is more of a tropical climate, and in this 4-5 months rainy.

In Kerala these things you will see Cocunut trees, Banana trees, men in 'lungis' its a dress which is weared by Mens, you will find most of the people wearing it.

Kerala has got the highest literacy rate in India.
The tourist spot to visits in Kerala are
Trivundaram, Ponumdi, Neyyar dam & lake, Wild life santuary,Kovalam beach resort, Mineral springs, Hindu Pilgrim centre, Allepy, Kottayam, Idukki, Thekkady, Munnar and many more.

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.
