>> Introduction of Kerala
Curving along the Arabian Sea along the South West Coast of India lies the state of Kerala which occupies around 40,000 sq. km of land. Kerala has some of the finest and beautiful beaches in India. Mythically Kerala’s bond with sea is that of a child and its mother. A fable says that Kerala sprang forth from the sea when Parasurama threw his battle axe into the sea to atone for his sin of killing thousands of kshatriyas. The sea forgav
e and receded bringing into existence the fertile of green enchanted land of Kerala – better known as God’s Own Country. The capital of Kerala is Thiruvananthapuram erstwhile known as Trivandrum. Its neighboring state is Tamilnadu and Karnataka. To south of Kerala lies the Indian Ocean islands of Lakshadweep and the Maldives.
Kerala is divided into three regions - the coastal lowlands, the fertile midlands and the highlands. The lowlands of Kerala are networked by endless backwaters and the deltas of forty-four rivers. The midlands are rich with cashew, coconut, areca nut, tapioca, banana, rice, ginger, pepper, sugarcane and vegetable plantations. The forested high lands abound in tea, coffee, rubber and spice plantations and wildlife reserves. Kerala's culture is a blend of Dravidian and Aryan influences, deriving from both a greater Tamil-heritage region known as Tamilakam and southern coastal Karnataka. It is an educationally advanced state with its own language, Malayalam, and has the highest rate of literacy (100%) among Indian states.
The climate of Kerala is equable and varies little from season to season. The temperature normally ranges from 80 to 90 F in the plains but drops to about 70 F in the highlands. The state gets its due share of both the southwest as well as the northeast monsoons, and the rainfull is heavy, owing to its close proximity to oceans.
Secluded beaches, palm, fringed backwaters mist clad hill stations, lush tropical forests, water falls, exotic wildlife, monuments, art forms and festivals give Kerala a distinctive charm. Apart from being a tourist destination, Kerala is also India's most advanced society. 100% literate, the State has India's highest density of science and technology personal. It is India's cleanest, most peaceful State.
Some Worth visiting places include
Trivandrum
Trivandrum (new name Thiruvananthapuram) is the capital of Kerala, is built on a series of hills that gradually descends to the sea. It is an ancient city with tradition dating back 1000 BC. Trivandrum as a city has much to offer. The Padmanabhaswamy temple; the Napier mueseum with a fine collection of bronzes; the Oriental manuscript Library which preserves ancient palm leaf manuscripts; the Chitralayam Art Mueseum with its Indian and South East Asian collection.
Cochin
Cochin (Kochi) is known all over the world as the Queen of the Arabian Sea. It is called the commercial capital of Kerala. Cochin is one of the finest natural harbours in the world from where ships set sail for foreign ports with different products of Kerala, like pepper, seafood, rubber and coir.
Calicut
The third largest city in Kerala after Trivandrum and Cochin, Calicut is a popular destination of historians. The home of the Zamorins, Calicut was a famous port years ago. In 1498 Vasco de Gama landed at Kappad which is around 20 kilometers from the city.
Alleppey
Pick up doormats bright enough to be framed. Capture the untouched magic of the narrow, shaded streets. See the wharf markets where fruit boats off load rice, green coconuts, red chillies, and fat rough skinned jack. Cruise on the myriad waterways or on the shallow lake, scene of the great annual boat race. Drive along the canal backwaters across the Vembanad Lake, 777 sq km in extent, after the monsoons.
Cranganore
The ancient Alexandrian port of Muziris, now Cranganore, is where the Romans built a temple to Augustus in the first century AD. Cruise along the backwaters from Cochin for a pleasant three hours, passing through green and rural Kerala.

Also domed white, modern Syrian Catholic Church surmounted by a double armed patriarchal cross.
Aranya Nivas
This quaint structure in the colonial style is the only property in India set in the heart of a game reserve.
