Kerala is a lush, tropical, fertile state in the southwestern coast of India. It is spectacularly located between the Arabian Sea on the west and the Western Ghats on the east. A charming emerald state, vibrant with colours, festivals, wildlife, culture, Ayurveda health programmes, alluring backwaters and great seafood, it has earned itself the epithet of God's own country, and with miles and miles of coastline, it has some of the country best beaches.

The highlight of a Keralan holiday is surely its backwaters. Made up of a network of more than 900 kms of interconnected waterways and brackish lagoons, the tranquil waters of the backwaters takes you through the heart of Kerala, its rustic palm-fringed villages and undiscovered beach hideaways, where time stands still.
