Kerala is a narrow strip of splendor on the
South-West coast of India. The quest for spice enticed the west to India, especially
Kerala. Sandalwood and ivory are the other treasures. The present state of Kerala came
into existence in 1956 from Travancore, Kochi and Malabar. It is the most literate states
in India.

Kerala is a fascinating voyage to adventure
-
"God's Own Country" as it
is called. Particularly the backwater trips along the coastal lagoons. It also offers some
of the most picturesque beaches in India. Lush plantations rise from the sea and sweep the
entire state green with glory.
