Kerala, breathtakingly green land, covered by coconut palms, lagoons, kettu vallams, sunny beaches and waterfalls, offers a soothing and festive mood.

Lush plantations rise from the sea, and sweep the entire state in verdant glory, swathing the countryside, the only interruptions in this expanse of green are the azure backwaters, along which coconut palms soar to the skies; the culmination is in the upward fling of the hills, where tea and coffee plantations nurture the greens to a denser, monsoon - washed, forest palette.

In this entrancing state, a mere strip of south-western India, hugged by the coast on one side, by hills on another, a fascinating voyage of discovery awaits travellers. Splendid festivals with intriguing rituals ; herds of elephants, leading giant processions; exotic handicrafts and seafood preparations, fresh from the Arabian Sea; cosmopolitan cities where the past is always within reach, and small towns where time has stood still; all this and more, makes Kerala the ideal holiday destination, far removed from the cares of everyday world.

Geographically, Kerala is a heady amalgam of Nature's very best. The divine high ranges of the Western Ghats on the east. The Arabian Sea on the west. Emerald paddy fields. Virgin forests. Limpid backwaters. And beaches by the dozen, which in the days of yore, lured adventurous hearts from all over the globe.
Kerala is God's own land, untouched and unparalleled.
