Kerala

Rightly designated by prestigious travel magazines and travel bodies around the world as a "must-see" destination, Kerala is the jewel in the crown of Indian tourism. Endearingly called as "God's own country" this enchanting strip of coastal paradise brings to life travel experiences that are nothing short of ethereal.

Long, pristine beaches are among the major attractions. Largely deserted, these beautiful sand-strips are ideal for surfers and sun-worshippers. Palm-fringed and inviting, these breath-taking beaches offer a different flavour of sun, sand and sea.

Beautiful backwaters criss-cross Kerala. Exploring life in the banks of these waterways while traveling in well-equipped houseboats is an experience of a lifetime. The tranquil waters, green landscapes, and the smiles on the faces of local children as you pass them by can kindle pure bliss in you.

Kerala's ancient culture and traditions are a treat to watch. Religious festivities of temples with caparishioned elephants and long processions of temple art forms afford a peep into the bygone times. The performing arts of Kerala like Kath Kali, Mohinyattam and Theyyam have a great following in the West.

Perhaps the best and unique charm that Kerala offers is Ayurveda - the traditional medical science - that heals not only the body but also the spirit. No other form of medicine - traditional or modern, surpasses the soothing power of Ayurveda. Specialized Ayurveda resorts in Kerala presents the traveler the opportunity to calm strained nerves and feel rejuvenated and ready to face life.

Kerala is a land of unspeakable charm.
