About Kerala, India
With over 600 km of incredible Arabian Sea coast and beaches, Kerala has been dubbed South India's most serenely beautiful state. With spices and tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats, Kerala is a world away from the mass tourism path, and offers a much more laid-back atmosphere.
National parks like Eravikulam and Periyar, plus Wayanad and other sanctuaries, are home to elephants, langur monkeys and tigers. Kerala is known for its palm-lined beaches and mostly for the backwaters, a network of canals lined with elegant houseboats.
For many years Kerala has earned the title of “God’s own country”, and once you experience this stunningly beautiful part of the world, you will understand why. With wild elephants, exotic birds and tigers, vibrant traditions such as Kathakali plays and temple festivals, you will find it very hard to leave this paradise.
