Kerala

Kerala ancient culture and traditions, coupled with its varied demographics and landscapes, have made it one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. National Geographic’s Traveller magazine names Kerala as one of the “ten paradises of the world” and “50 must see destinations of a lifetime”. It has been named also as “One of the 100 great trips for the 21st century”. Its most popular tourist attractions are beaches, backwaters and hill stations. Ayurvedic tourism, wildlife sanctuaries and bird-watching are very popular activities.

The “backwaters” are an extensive network of interlocking rivers (41 west-flowing rivers), lakes, and canals that center around Alleppey and Kumarakom, Lake Vembanad and Ashtamudi Lake
