At the moment, we are inclined for Kanyakumari as it is near so travel time would be less
We had not kept any woolen clothes.. Do we need to?

Is just a place, not sure what's there
Poovan
Beach
Shencottah
hill range
Varkala - already recommended
cliff beach
Kovalam
beach
Nagercoil
Tenkasi
Just cities. Think there are some temples and old architecture, but nothing to write home about
BTW, where is backwaters located?? Backwater is the name we northies surely know
backwaters = alapuzha mostly, If you want to explore, catch the jan shatabdi to allepey, and spend the day on a boat ( will cost 7~10k upwards for a boat) and back on the return shatabdi in the evening
Veli
has a park and a beach
Museum
has a zoo, and a park, and some great old architecture
Kanakunnu,
More lawns and ye olde kerala/british architecture
Ponmudi hill station
Nice view, but bad road
Vizhinjam Aquarium
not worth visiting in itself, but a good place to drop by on the way back from vzm
Shankhumugham Beach
Just another beach
Veli Tourist Village
Napier Museum (or Museum as it is plainly known as over here) and Kanakakunnu Palace
Kovalam Beach
Ponmudi Hill Station
see above
don't miss out on Varkala !
Another Nice beach
in kerala once you've seen one beach, you've seen them all
the museum was in the city, and the rest of the stuff would have taken you guys longer
even ponmudi was on the same road we went to peppara on, but it would have been longer, and the roads were worse and steeper, and we didnt want to drive on those roads
get a jeep or a taxi if you're heading that side
Plus peppara dam is one of the lesser known spots, and one of our favourites
black pepper - but its non veg and expect a lot of beef, duck, pork and all that

#greenhorn : I see so many places being mentioned here.. Why were we shown only to Kovalam beach, Peppara dam and the only CCD in TVM, when we visited about 2.5 years ago

Sorry i never noticed.. kerala fine
Btw, veg restaurant suggestion??
Btw, veg restaurant suggestion??
just a reminder, if you plan to go to see some temples, ensure that you have the proper clothing, some temples do not allow pants etc, you need to be clothed in dhoti. For the females, sari.

Oh and one more to Vivek's suggestion. Most temples make men go topless
...no banians too, towel as a upper wear is allowed and wear dhoti.
Sarees are a must, no other options. Many observe silence and strictly will stare at you if you end up gossiping loudly.
