Hint: Tropical rainforests are rainforests that exist in areas where there is no dry season in the tropical rainforest climate, with an average precipitation of at least 60 mm per month, which can also be referred to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest.

Complete answer:
The rainforests are forests that are wet and thick. They have higher precipitation. Tropical rain forests are found in India's Kerala and Northern Assam. They are also present in the Western Ghats of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
On the western edges of the coast (ghats) and on the eastern slope, where there is less rainfall, the Western Ghats monsoon forests occur. These forests contain several commercially important tree species (e.g. Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia), Malabar Kino (Pterocarpus marsupium), teak (Tectona grandis), and Indian laurel (Terminalia crenulata)), but many areas have now been cleared. There is an immense number of tree species in the evergreen forests; at least 60% of the trees in the upper canopy are species that contribute no more than one percent of the total number individually. Bamboo clumps occur along streams or in poorly drained hollows throughout southwestern India's evergreen and semi-evergreen forests, probably in areas once cleared for agricultural transportation.
So, the correct answer is ‘Kerala and Assam’.

Note: The moist deciduous forests of the South Western Ghats are a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion of southern India. It includes the southern portion of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states of the Western Ghats range and the Nilgiri Hills between 250 and 1000 metres elevation.
