Are you sure that Kerala is God's Own Country?
Yes of course it is. The state is gifted with greenery and water. There are lot of tourist spots. Kovalam is a well known beach; Thekkady is equally known for its wild life. For people who love silence, there is Silent Valley, which is the only forest where the insects don't make any sound. Wynad and Munnar in the Western Ghats makes it more closer to the nature. Travelling along the west coast of Kerala brings you closer to the coasts. A train ride from Kasargode to Trivandrum makes you count the bridges you cross. The language used in Kerala is Malayalam. People even spoke English, Hindi and Tamil also. The traditional dress of Kerala is Mundu for men and a slightly longer version of the same for women.
