Kerala, a state in Southern India is known as a tropical
paradise of waving palms and wide
sandy beaches. It is a narrow strip of coastal territory that slopes down the
Western Ghats in a cascade of lush green vegetation, and reaches to the Arabian
Sea.
Kerala borders the states
of Tamil Nadu to the east
and Karnataka to the north. It is
also known for its backwaters, mountains, coconuts, spices and art forms like
Kathakali and Mohini Attam. It is the most literate state in India, and a land
of diverse religions, where you can find Hindu temples, mosques, churches, and
even synagogues. With world class tourist sporting options, ayurvedic spas and
treatments, eco-tourism initiatives, a large number of visit options ranging from
beautiful high altitude blue mountains to pristine rain forests to golden
sun-sand beaches and an enormous range of accommodation, Kerala has much to
offer the visitor.
The tourism department of
Kerala boasts that the state is God's Own Country. Once you visit,
you will see where this claim comes from. The state really is blessed with
great natural beauty, and diverse ecology. The state is also considered to be
one of the safest regions of India. Incidents of local people cheating tourists are almost
non-existent. Kerala has high standards of living compared to its neighbours
and other Indian states and has social lifestyle indices such as education and
healthcare that are on par with developed countries.
A holiday here is an opportunity
for rejuvenation. You can get an Ayurvedic oil massage, spend
a day or two on a houseboat with
nothing to do but watch coconut trees pass by, or just laze around on Kovalam
or Varkala beaches. Thus tourism is more experiential here, rather than being composed of
superficial sightseeing options. The tributaries, unique backwaters, lagoons
and numerous small islands provide many scenic
attractions for visitors.
