My State- Kerala - Why is it called Gods own country!

I come from a small state which is the southern tip of India called Kerala. My state is blessed with a wonderful climate, rich natural beauty, great food, great people and truly deserves the name - Gods own country. Let me take you through this small but wonderful place called Kerala.

Kerala is often referred to as God’s own country. This beautiful land is rightly called the paradise, given to its lush green scenic landscapes and crystal clear beaches that will leave you awestruck. Blessed with natural beauty and ecological diversity, Kerala has a lot to offer to tourists and travelers.

Kerala is blessed with pristine beaches.

Houseboats on the backwaters of Kerala provide the much needed serenity to travelers. The backwaters of Kerala are a maze of lagoons criss-crossed with rivers, shallow pools and canals.

Kerala cuisine is mouth-wateringly yummy and certainly unique.

Rice is the staple diet and non-vegetarian food can be found in abundance. Seafood cooked in coconut gravy is something that you must try in Kerala.

Timeless traditions
Kerala has preserved the ancient art of martial arts, ‘Kalaripayattu.’ In fact, one can witness numerous timeless traditions in Kerala, be it dance forms, sports, ayurveda, herbal spas and much more.

Rich flora and fauna
Kerala boasts of exotic species of fauna and flora. Forest reserves of this state is depleting as a result of unplanned urbanization. The government has realized the possible repercussions of this condition and they announced several National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries so as to ensure preservation of flora and fauna.

I hope you will all visit this wonderful place, you will greatly enjoy the time here. :-)
