Kerala—God’s own country!!!!
Situated in the Southern tip of the Indian Sub continent emerging from the Arabian Sea to its West, the 500-2700 m high thick forests of the Western ghats to its East decorated with 44 rivers and their numerous tributaries which facilitate water to the fertile landscape of Kerala. With its most expressive tropical climate, a long shoreline marked with exotic and serene beaches, tranquil stretches of emerald backwaters, lush hill stations, exotic wild life, waterfalls, sprawling plantations, paddy fields, experienced traditional Ayurvedic Health centers, enchanting art forms, diverse cultural and traditional history and historical monuments, exotic cuisines which differs from seafood to vegetarian to spicy to meat to game to moplah… Kerala offers innumerable choices for any tastes for a memorable vacation.
It stretches along the coast of the Arabian Sea and is separated from the rest of the sub continent by the steep Western Ghats. The state lies between 80 18 ‘ and 120 48 ‘ north latitude and 740 52′ and 770 22′ east longitude. The breadth of the state varies from 32 kms in the extreme north and south to over 120 kms in the middle.
This is a site to provide details on all locations of Kerala from a traveler’s point of view by a local traveler who is born and brought up in Kerala and who loves Kerala to those who want to experience the simple earthy to the most sophisticated Kerala. The details will be furnished on a daily basis depending upon the places I visit during these coming months when I am traveling throughout Kerala on a cycle to get to know the intricacies of the regions other than the ones I was brought up in.
