This
tiny little state of India, situated on the south west corner of India, has the most
enterprising and industrious people in the country. A land of lovely palm-fringed wide
sandy beaches and lush green vegetation all over. A journey along Karen's coast takes one
through sheets of tender green paddy fields, cardamom groves and sloping plantations of
tea and tapioca. Though this land of rivers and backwaters, busy raising valuable cash
crops like tea, rubber, cardamom coffee, and cashewnut, it still lives at the leisurely
pace of ageless craft plying in canals and backwaters.To a visitor, Kerala offers one of
the best beaches in the country at Kovalam and one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries at
Thekkady (Periyar Wildlife sanctuary) the home of a magnificent variety of tropical flora
and fauna, a paradise resplendent is nature's glory. |
