National Geographic recently chose Kerala as one of the top 50 best destinations in the world!
Travel Kerala, where the whispering palms and winding rivers come together to create the magic web of the backwaters. One gets captivated and spellbound by the tranquility and peace. The best way to experience the backwaters is to hire a houseboat or Kettuvallam as called locally, to drift lazily along palm fringed riverbanks, sipping coconut water, dining on succulent crabs, fresh fish, steamed idlis and freshly roasted bananas, stopping by where your whims take you.
Kerala is also reknown for its natural Ayurveda and Yoga retreats, famous worldwide for its Ayurveda treatments.
