KERALA - TRULY A GOD'S OWN COUNTRY.

The name Kerala is derived from Keralaputra or 
the land of the sons of the cheras who were the first rulers of Kerala.

The beaches of kerala had begun to attract 
European guests of the Travancore kings  from the early 1930's .Kovalam is a 
typical example.It was a sleepy coastal village  until the
1960's when backpackers & 'hippies' began to discover the charms of southern beaches.Today Kovalam has few equals as a seaside tourist destination.
The story is similar in other parts of Kerala-the famous backwaters which gave the
name 'venice of the East' to kerala and also the virgin forests & the green hills.
The waterways : Kerala has an extensive network of waterways that lace the interior coastline, from Hosdurg in the north to Thiruvananthapuram in the 
south,covering a distance of560  kms.Also,the large inland lake, entire network of canals,estuaries & waterbodies formed by
the inimitable craftmanship of nature. KUMARAKOM is typical example of the

beautiful waterworld. The many resorts that have sprung up in and around Kumarakom have transofrmed this once quiet & peaceful settlement into a much sought after destination.
