Kerala,
aptly referred as God's own country, has ample to offer everyone and never disappoints.
Kerala is a place where serenity of nature mingles with the humble nature of people
and this qualifies it for the title " Gods own country". A tour through
the beguiling land of Kerala is sure to be a lifetime experience.
The mystery
of Kerala seems to be unresolved as the place has something new to offer in every
season. There is an unlimited treasure of joy in Kerala! There are sun-blanched
beaches, serene lakes and lagoons, steep mountains, deep valleys, dense forests,
picturesque backwaters, extensive paddy fields, thick groves of coconut trees
and many other such things. The chirping of birds, prance of paddy fields, ripples
in lakes and lagoons, gentle breeze in air, songs of choir women create a symphony
that has a long-lasting effect on the tourists. The captivating and somewhat mystic
charm of Kerala forces tourists to come again and again in its lap.
