With the Arabian Sea in the west, the Western Ghats towering
500-2700 ms in the east and networked by 44 rivers, Kerala
enjoys unique geographical features that have made it
one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Asia.
An equable climate. A long shoreline with serene beaches.
Tranquil streches of emerald backwaters. Lush hill stations
and exotic wildlife. Waterfalls. Sprawling plantations
and paddy fields. Ayurvedic health holidays. 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 a two hour drive from the other. A singular advantage
no other destination offers.
Kerala, India's most advanced society : A hundred percent
literate people. World-class health care systems. India's
lowest infant mortality and highest life expectancy rates.
The highest physical quality of life in India. Peaceful
and pristine, Kerala is also India's cleanest state.
For administrative purpose, the state of Kerala is divided
into fourteen districts. Most of these districts offer
all the tourism products typical of the State.
Kerala's culture is a blend of Dravidian and Aryan influences,
deriving from both a greater Tamil-heritage region known
as Tamilakam and southern coastal Karnataka. Later, Kerala's
culture was elaborated upon through centuries of contact
with neighboring and overseas cultures.[109] Native performing
arts include koodiyattom, kathakali—from katha ("story")
and kali ("performance")—and its offshoot
Kerala natanam, koothu (akin to stand-up comedy), mohiniaattam
("dance of the enchantress"), thullal, padayani,
and theyyam.
