The Coconut Holidays has turned out to be a very popular Keralan Holiday. It combines Kerla's natural beauty with wildlife viewing and a beach holiday. Fringed by rolling hills on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west, lies an amazingly beautiful
state in Southern India called KERALA - The land of green magic, a narrow, fertile strip on the South-West coast of India, sandwiched between the Lakshadeep Sea and the Western Ghats mountains. Blessed with unique geographical and cultural features, Its overpowering tropical greenness with 41 rivers and countless waterways, fed by two annual monsoons, intoxicates every new comer. Equally, Kerala's arcane rituals and spectacular festivals stimulate even the most jaded imagination, continuing centuries of tradition that has never strayed far from the realms of magic. No wonder it is called God’s Own Country - Beaches, backwaters, wild life, waterfalls,world class health & Ayurvedic resorts, tea gardens & spice plantations, ancient rituals and colourful festivals – Kerala has been blessed with it all. !! WELCOME TO KERALA - GOD's OWN COUNTRY !!
