Kerala is replete with major tourist attractions set against stunning backdrops. Legend has it that Lord Parsurama created Kerala as a separate land, and hence it is called God’s own country. It is home to astonishingly beautiful tea and coffee plantations in hilly areas as well as dense forests. There are also spice gardens and paddy fields that contribute to the lush green landscape, courtesy of heavy rainfall in the state. With about 600 kms of coastline, splendid backwaters and sunny beaches, it is a paradise for nature lovers where one can really enjoy being laid back and soak in the views.
