I have been mostly a lurker on this list for a long time and have always been impressed by the depth of discussion on wide ranging topics. July 1st week onwards most of India is covered by monsoons. I have been recommended Kerala as a place to visit during monsoons, what should one do in Kerala . Suggestions are welcome. The idea is a quite getaway to one place from 1st to 10th of July and not a lot hectic travelling. Is Kochi a good place or is Thiruvananthapuram better. We would be flying in from Delhi.

Hundreds of kilometers of astonishingly scenic surroundings doted with thick palm grove and green paddy fields are the most common sight. Traveling (to be apt wandering or getting lost) by one is a sensation of lifetime. </Quote> Any experiences or advice or caveats ? Thanks -Tarun
