About Kerala
Sun blanched white seashore. Endless beaches. Incessant blue waves mostly calm but sometimes boisterous clamouring and vanishing among white splashes. Green groves of coconuts just stop short and border the beaches with frills.
Lurking in the backdrop a network of lagoons and backwaters. Boats and country crafts moving along. . Quite a lot of rivers and countless rivulets flowing through hills and paddy fields of the midland, emptying themselves into the backwaters. And the far off dark blue mountains. This is what the eyes meet about Kerala. An excellent colour scheme and art work of Nature. An occasional boats man rowing and singing with cargo or people.
Better known as "Gods Own Country", Kerala offers you a host of exciting holiday options. Spread out across the year are specially designed packages that highlight the State's attractions, and prove beyond doubt that the season never ends in this breath takingly beautiful land.
Known as 'God's Own Country', Kerala offers you the colours, spectacle, magic, grandeur and mystery of India - all in just one State! It encompasses pristine palm-edged beaches running the entire length of the Malabar coast; the serene tranquillity of shady backwaters and rivers; green slopes and lush plantations, rushing streams and waterfalls; some of the country's most beautiful wildlife sanctuaries and national parks; timeless old hill stations; landmark temples, monuments and palaces; colourful festivals, exotic dances and mouth-watering cuisine; and the traditional therapy of Ayurveda for harmony of body, mind and soul! You can encompass some or all of these on your visit to Kerala - on a journey that Golden Days can tailor for you to be relaxed or active as your personal preferences dictate.
With the Arabian Sea on the west, the western ghats towering 500 - 2700m on the east and Kerala is networked by forty-four rivers. Kerala is a very easy place to simply sit back and enjoy. The name means "land of coconuts" and the palms shade nearly the entire state from the tropical sun; many call the beach at Kovalam the best in India, tranquil stretches of emerald backwaters, lush green hill stations and exotic wildlife, ayurvedic health resorts, enchanting art forms, magical festivals, historic and cultural monuments, an exotic cuisine… all of which offers a unique experience.
Kerala is one of the ten 'Paradises Found' declared by the National Geographic Traveller, for its diverse geography and overwhelming greenery. It is a land much acclaimed for the contemporary nature of its cultural ethos, and much appreciated for the soothing, rejuvenating paradise that it is.
