38,863 sq km of tropical paradise spanning 14 districts, three cultural zones, 600 km of coastline, 44 rivers, and over 5,000 years of unbroken civilisation.
Keralam â God's Own Country â stretches along India's southwestern coast between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. Three distinct regions â North, Central, and South â each carry their own identity, yet all share Keralam's hallmark gifts: extraordinary natural beauty, 96.2% literacy, Ayurvedic traditions, and a culture that has absorbed millennia of trade, religion, and artistic refinement.
A land of ancient trade routes, warrior traditions, and rainforest mystique. North Kerala is where Vasco da Gama landed, where Beypore shipbuilders still craft ocean-going vessels by hand, and where the fiery Theyyam ritual dances honour ancient deities.
The cultural and commercial soul of Keralam. Home to the "Venice of the East" backwaters, India's Niagara at Athirapally, the cosmopolitan heritage of Fort Kochi, and the world-famous Thrissur Pooram festival.
Keralam's spiritual heartland and gateway to the sea. South Keralam holds the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple, the world-famous pilgrimage of Sabarimala, Keralam's capital Thiruvananthapuram, and the international beach resort of Kovalam.
Dive into Keralam's beaches, backwaters, wildlife, and more.
