The Creation of the Creator Himself

 He says Kerala is His own country, Yes friends the state of Kerala is God’s own country-

Kerala- The Heaven

People know this place as Kerala as this place is situated on the shores of Arabian Sea in the south western parts of India. The place has lush green vegetation and palm fringed, sugar like white sand beaches, scenic beauty and books full of interesting history, as this is the place where the foreign businessmen entered this ancient country.

This is in fact a full-fledged state though comparatively smaller in size but one finds so much while traveling through the coasts of Kerala, sheets of tender green paddy fields, lovely people with so much care for outsiders, cardamom groves and hilly plantation of tea and tapioca, though this land of rivers and back waters is famous for valuable cash crops like rubber, cashew nut and coffee as well.

The state has many places of tourist interest lead by Kovalam beach which attracts thousands of tourists round the year as the weather is always suitable for swimming and enjoying the water sports flanked on the western coast by the Arabian Sea.

Popular Beaches in Kerala

Other popularly visited beaches include those at Alappuzha beach, Nattika beach , Cherai beach, Marari beach, Varkala. The Muzhappilangad Beach is the only drive-in beach in India. The backwaters in Kerala are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the coastal area also known as, Malabar Coast. Houseboats in the backwaters are one of the most interesting tourist attractions in.

Alleppey, which is largely known for its canals and the boat races held every year in August that is a major sporting attraction.The backwater network includes five large lakes linked by 1000 miles of canals, both manmade and natural; those get the water by many rivers around, and flowing through the whole of the state. The backwaters remain one of the main tourist attractions for tourists in Kerala.

Many reptiles, such as king cobra, viper, python, various turtles and crocodiles are also found in Kerala.

This is the only state in India which has achieved the hundred percent literacy rates. This state is also known for its famous temples churches and mosques. There are Jewish settlers too and a visit to this state takes the visitors to this beauty of a friendly land to the ultimate revelation of deep rooted cultures and delightful sensations.

You may find that some of the names sound different because I am still using the same names which were applicable from the time I started visiting this beautiful state. Some of these names like Alleppy have now changed Allapuzha or Cochin to Kochi and Trivendrum to Thiruvananthapuram.
