Tourist Destinations in Kerala

Kerala known as 'God's Own Country' is probably one of the greenest places you will ever see. Kerala is located on the south western tip of India with the Arabian Sea on the west and the Western Ghats towering 500 - 2700 m on the east. Kerala enjoys unique geographic features that have made it one of the most preferred tourist destinations in the world. Realizing this, the National Geographic Society declared Kerala as a Paradise destination and one of the 'must see destinations' for a complete traveler.

Some of the Tourist Attractions in Kerala are:

Thiruvananthapuram: The capital of Kerala, was earlier called Trivandrum and is known for its mild climate. The Sri Ananthapadmanabhaswamy temple, the Sri Chitra Art gallery, palaces of the family of the Maharajas of Travancore, museums and the beautiful Kovalam beach not far away, make Trivandrum a pleasant Indian holiday destination.

You can enjoy a cruise on a traditional houseboat or Kettuvallom into a serene world of quiet water and greenery interrupted only by the sound of rippling water and birdcalls.

  4. Kerala is one of my favorite tourist destination that offers the unique geographic features, nature's scenic beauties to explore. It offers wide opportunities for the visitors like temples, hill station, houseboat and wildlife sanctuaries. I have been to Kerala many times where the peaceful environment attracts me the most. I really enjoyed the backwaters amidst the dense green forests and the water waves in Alleppey.

  10. navbharat was established in 1955 with an objective to provide travelers of India, the highest standard in luxury travel arrangements. There is a saying that is often heard but is nonetheless very true“without a travel agent, you’re on your own”. A travel agent is your backup if something goes wrong whilst you’re overseas and in domestics.
