Sun blanched white seashore. Endless beaches. Incessant blue waves mostly calm
but sometimes boisterous clamouring 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 colour scheme and art work of Nature.
An occasional boatsman 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.
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.
