Her glistening white sandy beaches stretch over five hundred kilometers. The sea remains relatively calm the whole year except for a few violent bursts of anger during the monsoons. But the Arabian sea can be forgiven, since she has been the stepping stone to the state for traders from times immemorial. All ancient day texts are replete with references to the place and people in the southern tip of India. There are few places where the foreign trading ships could enter the river and sail upwards quite so smoothly as here in Kerala. Her 44 rivers flow quiet and serene in to the Arabian Sea, nourishing civilization, towns and cities upon her banks.
The villages of Kerala offer every taste, colour and sounds of life. Sprawling paddy farms, plantations of tea, coffee, rubber, cardamom, spices, vanilla and other cash crops form the bulk of her agricultural produce. The staple diet of people consist of rice, tapioca, fishes, meat and vegetables. Her cuisines spring from various genres like the Mopilla, Syrian Christian, and traditional vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisines.
She is well connected to the rest of the world by three international airports, rail and road networks. She is also home to the world's oldest codified body of knowledge in medical science known as Ayurveda which is still in use here. Her culture, architecture, philosophy and conventional wisdom have stunned the sailors who landed here from times immemorial.
The National Geographic Magazine terms Kerala as one of the fifty ‘must-see’ destinations in the world.
