Travel Tips
One of Southern India's most prosperous and go-ahead states, leaf-shaped Kerala spans 15,000 square miles of contrasts that both stimulate and soothe the senses. On its long western shore the lush Malabar coastline is the setting of a succession of spectacular and largely empty beaches washed by the warm Arabian Sea. Inland, Nature has framed an equally vibrant backdrop, much of it also fashioned by the movement of water. For here are the famous Kerala Backwaters - an intricate lacework of peaceful palm-edged waterways, whose languid and somehow timeless beauty can be absorbed to the full as you drift gently by aboard a slow-moving houseboat. |
