The Indian state of Kerala is on National Geographic’s list as one of the “ten paradises of the world”. It also features in their list of “fifty must-see destinations” of a lifetime”. It is for this reason that every South India Travel Package features a Kerala Tour. But what is it about Kerala that places it in the top 1% of global tourist destinations? Let’s find out... Kerala, God’s Own Country Like all of India, Kerala has a rich heritage and culture, amassed over a thousand years of multi-cultural traditions. Unlike most of India though, Kerala has preserved its heritage and culture beautifully. It has beaches, backwaters and mountain ranges, brought together by its unique geography, shared by no other Indian state: It is cocooned between the Lakshadweep Sea on the west, and the Western Ghats in the east. Thus, there are rugged, mountainous highlands in the east, rolling hills in the middle, and coastal plains in the west. Thus, Kerala boasts a number of hill stations – that become tourist havens in the hot Indian summer – while having tropical backwaters – which give rise to a marshy ecosystem – and beaches that wane into the clear blue of the Lakshadweep. Such a diverse landscape furnishes the land with a thriving wildlife, which is protected strongly by multiple sanctuaries, botanical and zoological. Of all the South India Travel Packages, only the Kerala Tours will let you witness such a range of beauty. Kerala’s most popular beaches, visited by tourists from the world over, are at Kappad, Bekal, Kovalam, Muzzhapilangad, and Varkala. If you find the sun not to your liking, you can foray east into the well-known hill stations, be it Peermade, Munnar, Wagamon or Wayanad. Look west, and you’ll see horizons far, far away, across the sprawling plains, over which rivers that once raged now flow languidly. These are 41 rivers, all interlocking to form a backwater system so complicated, even the Ganges delta seems mundane in comparison. Apart from the breathtaking natural splendour, urban tourism is also rampant, with cities like Kochi, Kozhikode and the capital, Thiruvananthapuram providing travellers with every modern facility, yet an array of cultural heritage. Paradise on Earth Although relatively undiscovered by the world until the 1980s, Kerala’s state government declared tourism as an official industry in 1986 – it was the first to do so. With Kerala Tours now inevitable incorporated in all South India Travel Packages, Kerala will welcome your presence, and is waiting to have you. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
