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 forgavArt of Kerala, Kerala Tourisme 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.
