ABOUT KERALA

Lovingly called as the 'God's Own Country', Kerala is a tropical paradise far from the tourist trail at the southwestern peninsular tip of India.
Kerala, the land of green magic, is a narrow, fertile strip on the south-west coast of India. Sandwiched between the Lakshadweep, Arabian sea and the Western Ghats. The landscape is dominated by rice fields, mango and cashew nut trees and, above all, coconut palms. The Western Ghats, with their dense tropical forests, misty peaks, extensive ridges and ravines, have sheltered Kerala from main land invaders and encouraged maritime contact with the outside world.
