Overview

About the Destination:

There is no exaggeration in Kerala’s status as God’s own country, for how else does one explain its gorgeous 600-kilometer stretch of undisturbed coastline skirting the Arabian Sea, the palm-fringed beaches, a network of languid backwaters home to vibrant rural life, the misty tea-covered Western Ghats, wildlife reserves teeming with endemic flora and fauna and spice plantations running rampant on its valleys and hill slopes. One of the country’s cleanest states, and perhaps the friendliest too, it is an absolute delight traveling around, visiting the historical temples and museums in Trivandrum, getting a slice of the maritime history in Cochin (Kochi), or taking a boat ride to islands like Mattancherry to trace its Jewish roots. Add to it a culture that is defined by colorful folk art and dance forms, a cuisine that is subtle yet generous in its use of spices, and a passion for Ayurveda that promises to soothe frazzled nerves. Simply slacken your stride and let all its sights and smells envelop you.
