Dr Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary at Thattekkad, for birds. (And there was this place where they did some tree felling so that "tourists can see birds properly" -- can't remember were, but K K Neelakandan mentioned that in "Birds of Kerala"..) http://traveller.outlookindia.com/destination.aspx?id=771 Kumarakom (=backwater) also has a bird sanctuary. Landscapes and portraits are always around you, no? -- 9DB8FF06 : CB80 0BA6 7D13 B10A 6FBB D43E B4D2 28AD 9DB8 FF06
