State Bird The Greate  Indian Hornbill (Buceros bicornis) is Kerala's state bird, the biggest member in the hornbill family; normally found in Kerala's evergreen forests as well as the western region oh India. Greate Indian hornbill is mainly a fruit eater with berries as its choicest ones. But it also feeds on insects,lizards,snakes and other nestling birds too! with their large beaks they swallow the food as a whole instead of breaking it into smaller parts. Female hornbills use hollows in big tree trunks to build their nests. Afterwards they remain in the nests till their chicks are partly developed; during this time it is the male's duty to fetch food for all. Though long-lived, even up to 50 years, these elegant birds are presently threatened with extinction due to destruction of their habitats and poaching for medicine and food. Various efforts are on to conserve the greate Indian Hornbills. State Animal Asian Elephant ( Elephas maximus),  more popularly kno...

Asian Elephant ( Elephas maximus), more popularly known as the Indian Elephant is the state animal of Kerala. Elephants have been an integral part of Kerala's culture and heritage since ancient times. These majestic animals adorned every King's prized possessions. The Coat of Arms of former Kerala Kingdoms (Travancore and Cochin) depicted elephants. Even the modern state of Kerala acknowledges the role of elephants in the state's culture by incorporating them in the state's symbol. Several temples in Kerala have elephants (mainly contributed by devotees as prized offerings). Notable among them is the famous Lord Krishna Temple at Guruvayur with more than elephants. Elephant is a symbol in Kerala. The population of wild elephants is estimated  to be around 6000 in Kerala. These gentle giants are now being treated as protected animals.

Hi friends, are you interested of trekking then you are love the beauty of nature and you are ready to protect our nature. Did you have a good knowledge of trekking?.If your answer is no then follow my instructions. Awareness of the Place You want to know about the place where you trekking because every forest's are not safe, there have been animals,snakes, other things what will attack us or injure us so aware the place where you gone. Medical Kit Take a medical kit because we cant sure anybody can hurt or injure any time, so take a medi kit, for our safety. Food Food is the main problem in a trekking. Because we have confusion about the what type food can take and what type food can eat. I suggest the good food for trekking time is fruits, Jam and bread. Take water, because water is very important in a trekking. Dress Keep normal dress.That means don't wear modern dress during the trekking.   

When you plan a trekking you must want to know about the presence of wild animals in that place. Because some animals will attack us for their food or some animals will attack us of our disturbances. So don't do any crazy things to animals. They will react. Animals can hear our noise and they can smell our body. The animals are very talented, they can track our path in their smelling ability, they can hear our murmuring sounds,they can understood our body temperature. So don't make any trouble during a trekking and careful because we are not going a war. Silence is the best way to escape from wild animals, the other benefit of silence is we can see the beauty of forest, the sound of birds,crickets. We can see other animals like Rabbit,Deer etc. So don't make any noise during the trekking. The other one is our smell, they can catch our smell, and definitely they can track us. So don't use any perfume. In my opinion don't use soap in your bath in the t...
