    Hi sweety
    Kerala state is sandwiched between Arabian sea on the west & wetern ghats on the East.
    The northern most district of kerala is kasargod & the southern most district is Thiruvananthapuram.
    Each district has unique places to see, enjoy & live close to nature.
    Where are you going to stay?
    Thats going to decide what are all the places you can see within your timeframe!!
    Please open the link below to view the map of kerala with important tourist places marked on it.

    Suppose you are choosing Thiruvananthapuram as your place of stay then refer the link below to see important tourist places.

    Apart from the places mentioned in the site you can also visit Mathoor Thotti palam & Padmanabhapuram palace on the way between Trivandrum & kanniyakumari is worth seeing!!

    If you want to enjoy backwaters, boat house sailing & living and love to visit temples you can choose Kottayam or Kollam as your staying place & see the link below.

    Thenmala - Eco tourism is one of the must see place which can be visited either from Thiruvananthapuram or Kollam. One whole day is enough to trek, boat & see other places at Thenmala.
    The beautuful beach Varkala is also located in between Kollam & trivandrum.

    Hi Chitra,

    We asked a couple of frens everyone suggests Munnar and if possible trip to lakshadweep from cochin....we may have a max of 4 days only...:bonk

    but after i saw your post i learnt that there are many more places apart from Munnar so got confused :spin

    Hi Sweety
    If you want to stay away from mainland surrounded by sea & like to indulge in water sports activities then Lakshadweep would be good.
    Please go Through the Link
    Lakshadweep Tours,Lakshadweep Tour,Lakshadweep Tour Packages,Lakshadweep Island Tours

    If you want to have an experience of living in a boathouse then come either to Ernakulam(Cochin) or Kottayam or Alappuzha hire a boathouse stay for a day, have kerala food, & enjoy back waters of kerala, etc.,...
    Next day you can shift your base to Munnar(5 hours journey uphill from Ernakulam) live among Tea Gardens, go for trekking enjoying the beauty of western ghats, shop tea & spices,...
    Then come back to Cochin & see important historic places , then of course do shopping,....
    Then catch a train or fligyt from Cochin to your place.
    The link below gives almost all details nicely on South India & especially Kerala Tour.
    http://www.kerala-tourism.net/index.html
    I think I made it clear.
    Wishing you a good & enjoyable trip to Kerala
