Kerala,
situated on the lush and tropical Malabar Coast, is one of the most
popular tourist destinations in India. Named as one of the "ten
paradises of the world" and "50 places of a lifetime" by the
National Geographic Traveller magazine, Kerala is especially known
for its ecotourism initiatives. Its unique culture and traditions,
coupled with its varied demographics, has made Kerala one of the
most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Popular attractions in the state include the beaches at Kovalam,
Cherai and Varkala; the hill stations of Munnar, Nelliampathi,
Ponmudi and Wayanad; and national parks and wildlife sanctuaries at
Periyar and Eravikulam National Park. The "backwaters" region, which
comprises an extensive network of interlocking rivers, lakes, and
canals that centre on Alleppey, Kumarakom and Quilon also see heavy
tourist traffic. Heritage sites, such as the Padmanabhapuram Palace
and the Mattancherry Palace, are also visite. Cities such as Kochi
and Thiruvananthapuram are popular centres for their shopping and
traditional theatrical performances. The Temple festivals is
conducted, attracting foreign tourists who are largely drawn by the
festival's elephants and celebrants. At Kerala Tour Operators, we
