National
Geographic selected Kerala, as one of the 50 must see destinations
of a lifetime.
Kerala, with the Arabian Sea on the west, the Western Ghats
towering 500 - 2700m on the east and networked by forty- four
rivers, is a very easy place to simply sit back and enjoy.
The name means "land of coconuts" and the palms
shade nearly the entire state from the tropical sun; many
call the beach at Kovalam the best in India, tranquil stretches
of emerald backwaters, lush hill stations and exotic wildlife,
Ayurvedic health resorts, enchanting art forms, magical festivals,
historic and cultural monuments, an exotic cuisine ... all
of which offer you a unique experience, and what's more, every
one of these charming destinations is only three to four hours
drive from the other.
