Kerala ‘Gods own Country’
Is located on the southwestern tip of India with the Arabian Sea on the west and the Western Ghat towering 500 - 2695m, Anamudi on the east. The State is divided into – the coastal lowlands, the fertile midlands and the highlands. Endless backwaters and the deltas of forty-four rivers network the lowlands. The midlands are rich with cashew, coconut, areca nut, tapioca, banana, rice, ginger, pepper, sugarcane and vegetableplantations. The forested highlands abound in tea, coffee, rubber and spice plantations and wildlife reserves.
An equable climate, serene beaches, tranquil stretches of back waters, lush hill stations and exotic wildlife are the major attractions of this land. A unique advantage of Kerala is that most of the destinations here are only a two - four hour drive from the other.
Classical art forms, colourful festivals, exotic cuisine are some of the cultural marvels that await travelers. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine and Panchakarma, the rejuvenation therapy in Ayurveda have also helped Kerala to gain a pan-global reputation as a worth-visit destination.
