The beauty of Kerala cannot be just written or explained,

this leaf-shaped country. Sun-kissed golden sands sprawled on the pristine
Kerala beaches snatch every emotion of a solitary traveller. Dark, deep
forest reserves carrying spicy aroma houses many exotic species in their
sleeves. And above all, it is the magic of Ayurveda, that refreshes you
again and again for a more exhilarating journey and you continue to do so
in this God's Own Country.
Let us introduce you to the tourist places in Kerala. Exploring places to see in Kerala, you can experience the true richness of the state, whether natural or man made.
The first of all places to see in Kerala are the cities and towns. A rare blend of prediction and history gives Kerala a unique charm. Spend a few days of your holiday itinerary at Thiruvananthapuram, the political capital of Kerala. Travel to Kochi, Queen of Arabian Sea, once an obscure fishing hamlet, the first European township in India and one of the most glorious cities in its history. Capture a few memorable moments amidst the pictusque locations of Munnar and enjoy the serenity of this mist-clad hill retreat. Watch the breathtaking parade of 30 richly caparisoned elephants during Thrissur Pooram, each escorted with three efficient priests sitting atop them at Thrissur, known to be the cultural capital of Kerala.
Kerala shares its western border with the Arabian Sea. The state's 600 km shoreline is dotted with some of the exotic, most charming palm fringed beaches in the world that together form one of the most endearing places to see in Kerala. Visit Go adventuring on surfboards, returning to shore for a snack of shrimp; or just sleep in the sun at Kovalam, just an hour drive out of the state capital Thiruvananthapuram. Varkala Beach, also in Thiruvananthapuram, is a sea side retreat much sought after for its Ayurvadic spas, high laterite cliffs and rich mineral springs. Visit the rock studded Kappad Beach in Kozhikode, where Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese explorer landed on 1498. Come and enjoy the pleasure of discovering the pristine sands of Kerala on your next holiday.
Backwaters - Kerala
A backwater cruise in a luxuriously converted rice boat is the idle (and also ideal) choice through Kerala's backwater canals to discover the unique experience of rural Kerala. The largest backwater body, the Vembanad Lake flows through Alappuzha and Kottayam districts and hugs the Arabian Sea at the Kochi port. A cruise through Kollam, one of the oldest ports on the Malabar coast, will gift you magnificent sights of Chinese fishing nets and large dugouts lugging coir, cashew and local produce. At the end of eight hour tour from Kollam, you reach Alappuzha - long eulogized as the Venice of the East - which offers spectacular sights of snake boat races and lush paddy fields.
Yet another of the most loved places to see in Kerala. The dark deep patches of Kerala jungles not only provide a visual treat but also create wild melodies to enchant every visitor. Chase the endangered Nilgiri Tahr at Eravikulam wildlife sanctuary. However the most spine-chilling experience can be experienced on a tiger trail at Periyar wildlife reserve. Enjoy a boat cruise on the Periyar Lake and have a pleasure to meet 'masheer', the world famous endangered game fish of India, known for its monstrous size and impressive fighting qualities. Enjoy a cup of herbal tea as you look for the footprints of the wild elephants, that cluster here for quenching their thirsts at the Silent Valley National Park.
When in Kerala, you just cannot miss a rejuvenating Ayurvedic message. Turn the course of your pre-planned holiday vacations at Kalari Kovilakom, the two-century old palace in Kollengode, lovingly restored and maintained by the private-sector CGH Earth Group. The expert ayurvedic physicians of Sree Sankara Ayurveda Vaidyasala, at Changanassery in Kottayam district is known to treat a number of ailments. Besides there are other ayurvedic resorts - Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Shala, Shayadri Ayurvedic Centre to name a few - nestling in serene locations that serve the same purpose of revitalising your body.
The coconut fringed land of Kerala not only offers a grand visual treat for the eyes, but also augments the naivety in supreme self. Plan a visit to Sabarimala, the abode of Lord Ayyappa, Kerala's own God. Enjoy the sights en route to the temple, all pictursque, unforgettable and moving - thousands from varied backgrounds, from near and far, all moving in unison to a holy destination chanting "Swamiye Saranam". Drive to the magnificent 4000-year old Sri Vallabha Temple on the banks of Manimala in Thiruvalla, probably the only temple in Kerala where Kathakali is performed as a ritual offering everyday! The 400 years old Jewish Synagogue at Kochi is an explicit example of the diverse cultural strain that mark the long history of this cosmopolitan land.
