beautiful place. It is located in the southern territory of India and is surrounded by tropical forests, rolling plains, amazing beaches, and many tranquil rivers. The best times to visit are between the months of
October and April.
The culture of Kerala is different and unique to travelers who have never been before. They are a diverse culture that take part in many festivals that are exciting and a must see for anyone who comes when there
is one being held. There is no lack of things to do. They have many different water sports, cruising, and several different tourist attractions including tours of the beautiful landscape and historic places around
the area.

A place that you must visit is Thiruvananthapuram – the capital of Kerala. When the city was first built the people believed that it had mythical origins. They name means Anantha – which translated means the home
of the sacred thousand head serpent Anantha. The city was built on seven different hills and was the capital for the Venad chieftains. It has become one of Kerala’s top tourist locations and commercial centre.
But try not to spend all your time in the city. The lagoons, lakes, and canals around the area are amazing to see and must not be missed.
These backwaters help the people of Kerala and can provide them a way of getting to different places and to growing the things they need to sell. When you take a ride on these rivers you will get a close look at the Kerala India
smaller villages in the area and how they live.
