Kerala, nestled on India’s tropical Malabar Coast, is a land of breathtaking beauty and diverse experiences. It’s known for its palm-lined beaches, tranquil backwaters, lush hill stations, and rich cultural heritage. One of the most iconic experiences in Kerala is cruising through the serene backwaters.

Some of the popular festivals include Onam, Thrissur Pooram, and the Aranmula Boat Race. These festivals offer a chance to experience Kerala’s unique culture and traditions. Kerala has a long history as a spice trading center. Spices like cardamom, pepper, ginger, and cloves are still cultivated here. Kerala’s cuisine is a unique blend of flavors, reflecting the state’s diverse population and rich history.
