1. Kerala
• Kerala, a paradise for tourists is diverse in
tourist destinations. Its 600km coast boarders
with Arabian sea in the west and the western
ghats reaching up to 2700 meters high
boarders in the east. With the canopy of
coconut palms, lush green plantations of
rubber, tea, coffee and spices, extensible
paddy fields and tropical cultivations makes
this land ever green in all the seasons of the
year.

2. Thiruvananthapuram
• The capital city of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram
is a district surrounded by the Arabian Sea and
the Western Ghats. During the British period
and till a few years ago, it was known as
Trivandrum, a name that suited the English to
pronounce. A quiet, neat and clean city, it has
a rich cultural heritage too.

3. Kochi
• In Kochi (Cochin), dawn is not often a thing of
breathtaking beauty, but just a careless smear of
tinted light where sea and sky unite. Daybreak is
full of indeterminate promise. A slow lividness at
the mist-obscured harbor mouth meets the
swelling untamed surge of the ocean. Cargo-
laden barges and vallams or country boats move,
ponderously slow, over the sprawling vastness of
the Vembanad Kayal, Kerala's largest lake that
spreads full bosomed and silver gray in the sultry
sun.

4. Kottayam
• The word Kottayam is a composition of the
words Kotta (meaning fort) and Akkam
(meaning inside). Kottayam is one of the
exotic backwaters sites attracting tourists
throughout the year. Being a mountainous
region with scenic landscapes, backwaters,
bird sanctuaries, temples and churches make
this a place of tourist attraction. Lying below
the sea level, some of its nearby places are
also a treat to the eyes.

5. Kovalam
• Kovalam, meaning "a groove of coconut trees," is
just 10 km from the state capital of Kerala-
Thiruvananthapuram. Kovalam is actually a
combination of three small beaches. Among
these, the southernmost beach, named
Lighthouse Beach, is the most frequented beach
in Kovalam. Earlier this beach of Kovalam was an
anglers' paradise. It still has some small villages,
just a few kilometres away, which belong to the
fishing community. Gradually, this beach of
Kovalam has been transformed to a tourist spot
of great interest.

6. Kumarakom
• The village of Kumarakom is a cluster of little
islands on the Vembanad Lake, and is part of the
Kuttanad region. The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary
is spread across 14 acres is a favourite haunt of
migratory birds and an ornithologist's paradise.
Egrets, darters, herons, teal, waterfowl, cuckoo,
wild duck and migratory birds like the Siberian
stork that live in flocks, in Kumarakom, are a
fascination for visitors. The best way to watch the
birds of the Kumarakom sanctuary is a boat trip
round the islands.

Kannan Devan Hills. One of the most popular
hill resorts of India, Munnar is adorned with
lush green surroundings, lakes, reservoirs,
forests, and tea estates. The quiet environs of
Munnar attract the traveler to relax in the lap
of mother nature. Munnar also beacons the
adventure-seeking traveler, who is interested
in paragliding. It has some of the highest tea
estates in the world.

8. Alappuzha
• Alappuzha (Alleppey) is one of the exotic
backwater sites in Kerala. Washed by the
Arabian Sea, interlocked by a number of canals
and bridges, this tiny marketplace is also
famous for its Nehru Trophy Boat Race held
every year. Alappuzha attracts tourists not only
by its natural beauty but also through its locally
made coir products that are of a very superior
quality
