Pay A Visit to Kerala
Kerala, in south India, is a slender coastal strip is shaped by its layered landscape: almost 600km of glorious Arabian Sea coast and beaches. This coastal state is rich in glistening backwaters; and the spice- and tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats, distinctive traditions and culture, and lush unspoiled tropical beauty. 
Besides its famous backwaters, elegant houseboats, ayurvedic treatments and delicately spiced, taste-bud-tingling cuisine, Kerala is home to wild elephants, exotic birds, and the odd tiger.
Vibrant traditions such as Kathakali plays, temple festivals, and snake-boat races frequently bring even the smallest villages to life. It's hard to deny Kerala's liberal use of the slogan 'God's Own Country'.
Kerala is the world away from the frenzy of elsewhere as if India had passed through the Looking Glass and become an altogether more laid-back place.
