Keralla was a long awaited destination due to the reputation spoken of it by numerous bunkmates in hostels and everywhere else. Keralla’s reputation seemed universal. I had to agree, my time spent at Keralla was both eye-opening andvery enjoyable.
The administrative and Legislative capital is Thiruvananthapuram (If you can say it, your toungue is more flexible than mine!), with Kochi being the Judicial capital.
The first thing that stood out after getting off the Goa-Keralla train was the modern, clean standard of the Keralla local train system.
The standards were brilliant, comparable to many fully develloped nations. Talking to locals, they’re very proud of their train system and of Keralla’s overall cleanliness. Many boasted Keralla to be the cleanest state in India.
My plan was to see Alleppey (Alappuzha) first, (like many Indian places, there can be Umpteen ways to spell it) , then head back to Keralla before heading further South
I cut my time short here due to recieving an invitation to meet my friend Vinod further south in Kanyakumari whilst he was visiting his parents. I hope to get back to Keralla at some point to see the places I missed and to make the trek across to Munnar which apparently is one of the world’s finest Tea growing regions.
