Kerala History
Kerala is truly the undiscovered India. It is God's own country and an enchantingly

the tourist trial at the southwestern peninsular tip, sandwiched between the
tall mountains and the deep sea. Kerala is a long stretch of enchanting greenery.
The tall exotic coconut palm dominates the landscape.
