KERALA

A slice of greenery along the magnificent Arabian sea in the southern tip of the country, Kerala is the perfect spot to laze on tropical palm-tree beaches, swim in tranquil backwaters, explore evergreen forests, trek spice-scented hills and tea estates, and rejuvenate with Ayurvedic treatments. A number of popular wildlife sanctuaries home to exotic and rare species of flora and fauna are found in these Sahyadri ranges. Endangered species like the Indian sloth bear, lion-tailed macaque, Indian bison, Bengal tiger, Nilgiri tahr, among others are spotted here. Aptly described as ‘God’s Own Country,’ Kerala has its own spectacular range of dance forms, music and handicraft, offering a saga of experiences to all travellers.
