There's more than one reason why Kerala is called ‘God's own country’. Geographically, the state couldn't be more blessed. There's the Arabian Sea to the west and the Western Ghats towering 500-2700 m in the east. There's also the remarkable network of 44 rivers. And if that wasn't enough, there are also tranquil stretches of emerald backwaters, lush hill stations, exotic wildlife and breathtaking waterfalls to explore. Sprawling plantations and endless paddy fields add to the grandeur.
And then there is the high-intensity cultural life and an infinite number of intriguing customs. Age-old influences of Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity blend to form something unique to the region. The inspiring Ayurvedic lifestyle is steeped in tradition and history, with intriguing smells and tastes and a cure for almost anything. There are enchanting art forms and magical festivals. The famed snake boat races and the rather remarkable form of martial arts practiced by the people of the state are known worldwide. This is a land dotted with historic and cultural monuments and spiced with a fiery and exotic cuisine.
All this comes together to offer the visitor an amazing diversity of experiences. Visit Kerala - the perfect place to soak up culture while you soak up the sun. Take a trip to God’s own country.
