That Kerala has become
increasingly feted among holiday destinations in the
world is no hype.
After all, it hasn’t occurred
for fleeting moments to the traveler that South India
Tour Operators justify this, branding the state as “God's
Own Country”.
Otherwise, it must take National
Geographic Magazine to tip the balance, touting Kerala
as “one of the 10 paradises of the world.”
Recognized as India's cleanest, Kerala is that only
state simultaneously saturated with world-class beaches,
hill stations, backwaters, bays and rivers.

More than anything, any sane South India
Tour itinerary must cross the omnipresent backwaters of Kerala.
Southern India Tours make a killing carrying tourists across
the palm-flanked shores of these backwaters. As indulgence,
traditional watercrafts called Kettuvalloms are customized
just for these cruises. South India Holidays count Kochi
or Cochin, among backwater destinations.
It is the commercial hub of the state, where vestiges of
Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, Portuguese and even Jewish
influence can still be felt, one way or another.
Alappuzha, formerly Alleppey, is the
self-appointed “Venice
of the East” on the backwater route, a moniker
owing to the unbridled proliferation of canals, lagoons
and backwaters around the area.
Some of its lakes are the setting for spectacular snake
boat races.
Another South Indian Travel destination along
the backwaters is Kumarakom, a haven of birds.
Alternatively, holidaymakers can always scale the Western
and Southern mountain ranges for the state's famed hill
stations. |

At this point in South Indian Tours, the experience transfers
to an idyllic setting of verdant forests, coffee and spice
plantations, valleys and waterfalls.
Munnar is at the zenith of it all, being the summer resort of the former British Government in South India.
Whether in Kovalam Beach or not, tourists embarking on South India Beach Tours in Kerala are faced with opportunities for Ayurvedic health treatments.
These ancient therapeutic treatments have since carved a niche in South Indian Tourism, which are as rejuvenating as the next spa treatment out there.
