if i were to compile a list like this, i think it'd take me a little over 5 minutes :) my visits to most of the good cities were before i was 6 or 7 (i think).. so they dont really count...

Quite a lot of treks you have done. I have also done some but haven't yet written about all of them.

I think when I go to South India, I will take your help. :)

Never been to Kerala, it's high on my list.
