Information
For many travelers, Kerala is
South India's most serenely beautiful state. This slender coastal strip is
defined by its layered landscape: almost 373 miles (600km) of glorious Arabian
Sea coast and beaches; a languid network of glistening backwaters; and the
spice- and tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats, dotted with fiercely
protected wildlife reserves and cool hill stations such as Munnar. Just setting
foot on this swathe of soul-soothing, palm-shaded green will slow your
subcontinental stride to a blissed-out amble. Kerala is a world away from the
hectic action of the rest of India, its long, fascinating backstory illuminated
by historically evocative cities like Kochi (Cochin) and Thiruvananthapuram
(Trivandrum).
