Diversity and beauty of its landscapes and nature

For your info, Kerala means ‘The land of Coconuts’ in Malayalam (the main language in the south). And to be honest I have never seen as many in one place, and we’ve travelled a fair amount ! It’s an absolute pleasure to be surrounded by these giant tropical trees. Sun is king in Kerala, 8 months of it for 4 months of rain, amazing ! On top of the fabulous weather, Kerala boasts some mesmerizing lanscapes and beautiful nature.

Kerala is correctly referred to as ‘God’s Own Country;. Its all-encompassing geography that comprises of serene hill stations and tranquil beaches will mesmerize you.

Experience Kerala

AYURVEDA

A comprehensive understanding of Ayurveda requires a detailed look at its long history, from its source to the various interpretations it has been subjected to, through the centuries. The original verses of Ayurveda are said to be derived from the consciousness of Lord Brahma the Creator, and carefully internalized by his disciples.

Judaism in Kerala

The history of the first Jewish diaspora in Kerala or Kerala’s exposure to Judaism or, to put it even more differently, the story of the granting of asylum to the Jews in Kerala is a long and interesting one.

Palakkad, A Potpourri of
Experiences

The Rice Granary of Kerala, Palakkad District has diverse sightseeing options like forts, rivers, hills, forests, dams, wildlife sanctuaries, waterfalls, temples and heritage spots

Kovalam

Kovalam is an internationally renowned beach with three adjacent crescent beaches. It has been a favourite haunt of tourists since the 1930s. A massive rocky promontory on the beach has created a beautiful bay of calm waters ideal for sea bathing.

Aymanam

Tucked away in the outskirts of Kottayam city, the tiny village of Aymanam has its own special story to tell. Famed for its unparalleled natural beauty and copious cultural diversity,it is yet another less-explored treasure trove of God’s Own Country.

Kathakali

Kathakali is a classical dance form of Kerala, demanding long years of training. Believed to have evolved from Ramanattam, another classical art form composed by Kottarakkara Thampuran, Kathakali incorporates the techniques of some of the major ritual art forms of Kerala.
