In which part of India is the Silent Valley National Park located?
- a.Tamil Nadu
- b.Kerala
- c.Karnataka
- d.Andhra Pradesh
Answer: (B) Kerala
Silent Valley National Park lies in the Nilgiri hills of Palakkad district, Kerala, and protects tropical evergreen rainforest; a 1970s campaign stopped a hydel dam there. It adjoins Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris, which makes (A) tempting, but the park is in Kerala.
