The cosiest part of India, state Kerala. This is the coastline to the North of Varkala, a resort popular among international vacationers. A pathway along the red cliffs is an entrance to the rural areas that lead more traditional lifestyle.

God's Own Country is a poetic (and marketing) name of Kerala.

I took this photo during my three-month trip to beautiful South India in 2016.

Camera: Nikon D750 | Lens: Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G
Aperture: f/8.0 | Shutter Speed: 1/400 | ISO: 100

Three more my photos for those who want to see Kerala a bit closer:

No he visitado Kerala amigo, pero sin dudarlo es un lugar muy bonito. La fotografía de las palmeras me parece increíble.
Una pregunta ¿Hay tiburones en esas playa?

Thank you! :)

I have no special information about sharks in Kerala. There are sharks in the Indian Ocean, of course, and nobody can give a garantee. But ... a chance to die in a car accident is much higher so... in my opinion, street traffic is a real danger we should be wary of.

I think we should avoid swimming only in areas where sharks attack people often. I have never heard Kerala belongs to this category.

If you want to swim in the sea for long distances, you should go to the Black Sea - they have no dangerous sharks only the spiny dogfish - safe. Choose Batumi, Georgia :) a nice city.

Beautiful place. On the one hand, I want to go there, but on the other, something inside me resists

India is special... You may fall in love with it or you will hate it as a travel destination. So ...you should try if you want to know for sure. :)
