With the Arabian
Sea in the west, the Western Ghats towering 500-2700
m in the east and networked by forty four rivers,
Kerala enjoys unique geographical features that have
made it one of the most sought after tourist destinations
in Asia.
An equable climate. A long shoreline with serene
beaches. Tranquil streches of emerald backwaters.
Lush hill stations and exotic wildlife. Waterfalls.
Sprawling plantations and paddy fields. Ayurvedic
health holidays.
Enchanting art forms. Magical festivals. Historic
and cultural monuments. An exotic cuisine... All
of which offer you a unique experience. And what's
more, every one of these charming destinations is
only a two hour drive from the other. A singular
advantage no other destination offers.
Kerala, India's most advanced society : A hundred
percent literate people. World-class health care
systems. India's lowest infant mortality and highest
life expectancy rates. The highest physical quality
of life in India. Peaceful and pristine, Kerala
is also India's cleanest State.
For administrative purpose, the state of Kerala
is divided into fourteen districts. Most of these
districts offer all the tourism products typical
of the State.
Sun blanched white seashore. Endless beaches. Incessant
blue waves mostly calm but sometimes boisterous
clamouring and vanishing among white splashes. Green
groves of coconuts just stop short and border the
beaches with frills.
Lurking in the backdrop a network of lagoons and
backwaters. Boats and country crafts moving along.
Quite a lot of rivers and countless rivulets flowing
through hills and paddy fields of the midland, emptying
themselves into the backwaters. And the far off
dark blue mountains. This is what the eyes meet
about Kerala. An excellent colour scheme and art
work of Nature.
An occasional boatsman rowing and singing with
cargo or people. A tiller or a mower and women planting
seedlings. Women at work spinning coir. Dense plantations
further eastward.
Better known as "Gods Own Country", Kerala
offers you a host of exciting holiday options. Spread
out across the year are specially designed packages
that highlight the State's attractions, and prove
beyond doubt that the season never ends in this
breath takingly beautiful land.
