Tourist Places in Kerala

‘God’s Own Country’ captures the essence of Kerala. National Geographic Traveller selected Kerala as one of the 50 destinations of a lifetime and one of the thirteen paradises in the world.

A Houseboat cruise (kettuvallam) along the backwaters of Kerala is a must- do. The National Geographic Traveler says, "It is astonishingly romantic to watch the sunset from one kettuvallam among several, while the three boatmen hang lanterns and a pearly glow fades behind the scrim of palms... Waking at dawn, we find ourselves surrounded by hundreds of fishermen's skiffs on immense Vembanad Lake. It’s like time travel into a quiet morning of another century."

Pristine beaches of Goa - Kovalam, Varkala and Poovar beaches are popular. Kerala's other treasure is the popular hillstation Munnar. Wayanad district is famous for its dense forests and is a popular weekend getaway from Bangalore.

Kerala ia a small state - 550 Kms long and hence time taken to reach from one tourist place to another is small. Tourist infrastructure is reasonably well developed in Kerala
