Kerala Beach Holidays

Kerala,
a beautiful state in Southwestern India, is aptly called "God's Own Country."
Visitors have come to this seaside paradise for centuries, drawn by its famed
spices, natural beauty, tropical climate, friendly people and rich cultural
heritage. St Thomas, one of the disciples of Jesus, traveled to the Malabar
Coast as early as 52 A.D., to spread his religious message.
Whether it's a spiritual connection, ayurvedic therapy or simple relaxation
you're looking for, Kerala has it all and so much more. The Arabian Sea gently
splashes alongside a beautiful coastline of sunlit beaches, lined with coconut
palms swaying in the sea breeze. The placid backwaters come alive with snake
boat races and the silence of the green countryside is broken by the trumpeting
of grandly-decorated elephants at Temple festivals.
You can relax on a pristine beach, rejuvenate yourself with treatments at an
exotic spa, drift through lagoons and backwaters in a houseboat, watch herds
of elephants in the wild, taste the delicious local cuisine, be enchanted by
a traditional Kathakali dance performance, celebrate the colourful festivals,
interact with the friendly people of one of India's most literate states, enjoy
the tropical weather and realize why this beautiful corner of India is truly
God's own country.
Kerala Beaches
Kovalam Beach: Located 18 km from Thiruvananthapuram, this beach is considered
to be one of the best in the world. Apart from swimming and relaxing on the
white sands, you can enjoy surfing, water skiing and a catamaran ride.
Varkala Beach: The striking geography of this beautiful beach has made
it very popular. Behind the beach are towering cliffs that contrast with the
white sands and the blue sky and clear water.
Backwaters: Travelling through the backwaters of Kerala on a traditional
kettuvallom or houseboat is a tour like no other. The tranquil water, the green
palm-fringed coast, the sounds of sea birds calling, tropical vegetation and
friendly people. It is an experience to cherish forever.
Kumarakom: A cluster of islands located on the Vembanad Lake, with mangrove
forests, a bird sanctuary, paddy fields, palm trees, and waterways, this getaway
feels like a corner of paradise.
Kochi:
Formerly known as Cochin and also called the "Queen of the Arabian Sea" this
seaside town is the commercial and industrial capital of the state. Apart from
the busy port, there's a lot to see in this picturesque town. One of the oldest
synagogues in the world is located here in Cochin. Built in 1568, this beautiful
structure is worth a visit. St Francis Church, where Vasco da Gama was temporarily
buried, Fort Cochin, the Dutch Palace at Matancherry, the Santa Cruz Basilica
and the Chinese fishing nets used by local fishermen are all must-see stops
on your tour of Kochi
Allapuzha: This beautiful coastal destination, has some of the most picturesque
backwaters in Kerala. The annual snake boat races held here every year are a
popular attraction. Teams of rowers power their long narrow boats, swiftly through
the water competing for the Nehru Cup.
