PRIVILEGE TRIP TO SOUTH
INDIA
 Kerala is a good example of how a place with great attributes has come to be perceived as a great place to visit. The National Geographic Traveler has selected Kerala as one of the "50 places of a lifetime" among its millennium destinations. Among other destinations in India Kerala has become pocket-vebus of world destinations with stunning backwaters, impossible greenery, a range of Ayurvedic massages, great beaches, food and culture.
Kerala attracted the notice of people in other parts of India even from time immemorial. It is evident from the many reference to the land of in ancient Sanskrit works. Society in Kerala is stratified along caste and
religious lines. The presence of the various religious groups over this small strip of land has given rise to a composite culture in the state.
Interestingly, while on the one hand, the influence of the rituals of one religion on another is evident, on the other hand, people of the same
religion living in different parts of the state follow different customs, rituals and food habits. Except for a few places in northern Kerala and in areas lying close to and on the Western Ghats, Malayalam is the primary language. In these areas, however, the local dialects are a mix of Malayalam, Kannada and Tamil. Hindus are in a majority in Kerala.
Sun blanched white seashore. Endless beaches. Incessant blue waves mostly calm but sometimes boisterous
clamoring 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
color scheme and art work of Nature. An occasional boatman rowing and singing with cargo or people. A tiller or a mower and women planting seedlings. Women at work spinning coir. Dense plantations further eastward. Kerala is all these and more.....
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.
