Welcome to Gods's Own Country |

With the Arabian sea on the west, the western ghats towering 500 - 2700 mts. on the east and networked by 44 rivers, man made canals, and many large water bodies, Kerala enjoys unique geographical, cultural and social features that have made it one of the most sought after destinations in Asia, or for that matter, in the world for all tourists. This wide platter of desitnations takes Kerala Tourism to a whole new level.  All of Kerala’s charming destinations: i.e. beaches, backwaters, hill stations and wild life are only a few hours drive from each other. Added to this, is the fact that Kerala is India’s most advanced society and a true masterpiece of diversity. Nowhere else would one find people of the three greatest religions living in such harmony. Little wonder then, that Kerala is called the ‘Mount Everest of Social Development’. Kerala Tourism has always been a source of inspiration for people from all over the world. The sights ans sounds that transcend tourists into the very depths of nature is what makes Kerala an exquisite holiday destination.  Ever wondered why Kerala was chosen as one of the ‘50 Places of a Life Time’ by the National Geographic traveller? It is definitely because of both the place and the people. To quote Bill Makibben in the National Geographic traveller 50 Places of a Life Time “...that engagement with the world is one of the best things about the place. Keralites meet you on more or less equal terms, with neither the subservience nor the rage you’ll find in much of third world.” |
