Dear Pankaj ji,
No, there are two Silent Valleys in Kerala.  The famous first one is in Palakkad district more than 200km distance from here. Second one, least famous is in Idukki district at Munnar  85km.  Which one is you expect?
With regards, Sam.

No sir, I just wanted to know if your plants are from silent valley in Palakkad? There is supposedly one student working there on vascular epiphytes.
Thanks so much sir.
Best regards
Pankaj
