KERALA

Cradled between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, Kerala lives up to its moniker of "God’s Own Country" with its lush greenery, tranquil backwaters, misty hills, and palm-fringed beaches. The serene backwaters of Alleppey and Kumarakom, the tea and spice-laden slopes of Munnar and Wayanad, and the exotic wildlife of Periyar and Wayanad Sanctuaries make Kerala a paradise for nature lovers. Kochi, with its colonial-era architecture and cultural fusion, is a major attraction, while Kerala’s reputation for Ayurvedic wellness retreats draws health-conscious travellers from around the world. The state is deeply rooted in tradition, celebrated through classical art forms like Kathakali and Mohiniyattam, and festivals like Onam and Thrissur Pooram, known for their colour, music, and grandeur. Kerala’s cuisine is a delicious blend of spices and coconut-rich flavours — must-try dishes include Appam with stew, Malabar Paratha, seafood curries, and the festive Sadya, a lavish vegetarian feast served on banana leaves. The best time to visit is during the monsoon (June to September) for a lush, rain-washed experience, or between October and February, when the climate is cool and comfortable. Kerala offers an immersive mix of culture, wellness, adventure, and scenic beauty — a truly unforgettable destination.
