Kerala
The only Indian destination that featured in it was Kerala other than the
Taj Mahal in the World Wonders section.
Kerala was celebrated as a 'Paradise Found' - one of the ten in the world,
A perfect description for a land renowned as "God's Own Country".
What adds to the charm of its backwaters, beaches, Ayurveda health holidays,
hill stations, wildlife, festivals, monuments and vibrant art forms, is
its amazing social development indices that are on par with the developed
world.
The small state of Kerala, which represents just 1% of the land mass,is
considered to be one of India's most beautiful state.
It is a very rural state with most of the population living in villages
but is culturally and scenically diverse.
Kerala has two national parks, ten wildlife sanctuaries and two bird sanctuaries.
Kerala occupies a long (550km), narrow strip of land in the far south of
India.
Its coastline is on the Arabian Sea ( part of the Indian Ocean) and its
eastern border with the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu is the top of the
majestic Western Ghat mountains.
The landscape varies from long golden beaches to cool hill stations and
dense green jungle to bustling cities.
Its unique feature is the 1,900km of palm fringed backwaters.
The people of Kerala are warm and friendly and interaction with them is
often a highlight of a holiday to Kerala.
Keralites have a strong culture and are fiercely proud of their
state.
Some of their art forms (eg Kathakali and Theyyam) and martial arts (kalaripayattu)
are unique.
