A train journey through Kerala would be a series of sightseeing. Compared to other states, Kerala is more greener; the reason would be the green paddy fields and the tranquility. You can see many rivers, backwaters, estuaries, green paddy fields, old houses, cities and so on. You will not find so many natural things in any other train journey apart from Kerala. From Trivandrum central to Kasargod, You see it all. It would be almost a days journey to reach from one end to the other by train, unless otherwise you are in a super fat train like the Rajadhani express. Rail journey would be best option to reach bekkal and other important tourist destinations like Kanyakumari where the road transport would be tiring.
There are mostly 4 classes in a train namely General 2nd class sitting, Sleeper class, AC 3 tire and AC 2 tire - AC means airconditioned. Other classes would be AC chair car for day trains and for some trains there is an executive class called 1 tire AC, which is comparatively expensive and luxurious. 2nd class sitting is the basic where most of the passengers would be travelling and it is not necessary that you will get a seat to sit. It would be hard to find a seat, but if you are lucky enough you can find one. The sleeper class is where you have folded berths where you can sleep in the night that is how the name comes, during day time you just need a sleeper class ticket, but during nights you should have a sleeper class reservation ticket to claim a berth to sleep or else you will not be allowed to travel. AC 3 tire is where the sleeper class is Air conditioned. 2 tires is more luxurious then 3 tire and is more private area and you will be provided beds. The number of seats and berths are also less. Executive class is an exception and is not available in all trains.
