Information
Welcome to Kerala
For many travellers, Kerala is South India's most serenely beautiful
state. This slender coastal strip is defined by its layered landscape:
almost 600km of glorious Arabian Sea coast and beaches; a languid
network of glistening backwaters; and the spice- and tea-covered hills
of the Western Ghats, dotted with fiercely protected wildlife reserves
and cool hill stations such as Munnar. Just setting foot on this swathe
of soul-soothing, palm-shaded green will slow your subcontinental stride
to a blissed-out amble. Kerala is a world away from the frenzy of the
rest of India, its long, fascinating backstory illuminated by
historically evocative cities like Kochi (Cochin) and Thiruvananthapuram
(Trivandrum).
