The Ways of the God’s Own Country- Kerala

The people call it the “God’s Own Country”, here is Kerala out of the ordinary for you. The warm hearted people, their smiling faces, the thick moustaches, the white lungi with the golden border are going to be a familiar sight for you this holiday because Kerala is your holiday destination this season. There are plenty of reasons why we say so. In the coming lines we give you some of the reasons why you should be in the cleanest and the most literate state of India.

Let us give you the first reason. The beaches of Kerala are the most peaceful and the beautiful ones. The swaying palms that line the beaches, the silky sands, the roaring waters of the Arabian Sea add to the beauty of the fine beaches. The beaches of Kerala are different from the Goan beaches that are noisy and much more commercialized. Some of the famous beaches of Kerala are Marari beach, Kovalam beach, Lighthouse Beach, Samudra beach, Alleppey beach, Cochin beach, Bekal Beach, Beypore beach, Kappad beach, Sanghumugham beach etc. these beaches are lined with excellent resorts and hotels that remain packed to their full capacity during the tourist seasons.

The second reason to visit Kerala is the tranquil and one of its kind’s backwaters that lie parallel to the coast along the Arabian Sea. These backwaters are the backbone of the Kerala economy as they provide fishing, transport and most importantly the tourism industry that flourishes on these waters. These backwaters also form the unique ecosystem that ids developed when the brackish waters of the Arabian Sea meet the fresh waters fed by the rivers. At some places, as in Kumarakom, the saline water from the sea is prevented from mixing with the fresh waters and made available for cultivation. The backwaters are only connecting links of the rural people to transfer their produce and

goods to the bustling towns for sale.

The third reason also lies on these backwaters- this is the Kerala houseboat for you. These are really a marvelous piece of fine architecture. They are called “Kettuvallam” in the local language. An interesting thing to note here is these are huge constructions upto a length of 80 ft and breath of 13 ft but not a single nail goes down these boats during construction. These houseboats are laden with the modern facilities that a well furnished hotel can give. It has the luxury rooms with TV’s, parlors, sun deck to take a good tan of the sun and moreover these wooden masterpieces are equipped with full fire safety. The houseboats were used by the people anciently as carrier for their goods but now these houseboats have become the first choice of the holiday makers and the honeymoon couples.

The fourth reason is the wildlife in Kerala that is so much abundant that you would not want to miss out. The famous wildlife sanctuaries here are

the Periyar wildlife sanctuary, the Wayanad wildlife sanctuary, the Kumarakom bird sanctuary, Idukki wildlife sanctuary, Thekkady wildlife sanctuary, the Chinnar wildlife sanctuary etc. here almost 90% of the vertebrate fauna is found and is the part of the Nilgiri biosphere reserve. The flora in state is also flourishing and the Ayurveda industry is on the high in the state.

There are many other reasons for your arrival which are the panoramic hill stations, the boat races, the festivals, the rich cuisine, the flavor of the spices etc that still remain untold. So hope you got an idea why is this place the ideal one for your holiday. Come experience yourself and share your experience of the “God’s own country”.
