Serene backwaters, dense jungles, quaint countryside, fragrant tea plantations and beautiful
beaches—Kerala is truly a nature’s paradise. Ranked as one of the top 50 destinations to
visit in the world, Kerala attracts both local and global tourists with its unique charms and
irresistible appeal.

Located in southern India, Kerala has an expansive coastline dotted with coconut palm-
fringed trees. The azure waters of the Arabian Sea laps up against the shores, creating a
scenic picture. Historically, Kerala was a major centre for trade and commerce, and was
visited by many explorers and merchants. These visitors brought unique elements of their
culture which intertwined with the local customs and traditions. To this day, when touring
Kerala, one can feel the influences of the Dutch, Portuguese, British and the French on its
buildings, art and architecture. And despite these influences, the coastal state has retained a
culture deeply rooted in its own native traditions. Present-day Kerala, however, is a
confluence of diverse ideas, cultures, religions, and foreign influences.

Kerala is a multifaceted tourist destination preferred by both leisure-seekers and thrill-
chasers. Here a tourist can simply relax and rejuvenate by cruising on a houseboat tour on
the backwaters of Alleppey, Kumarakom, or Kollam. Relieve your stress and tension,
(literally) with an authentic Ayurvedic massage and wellness rituals. Immerse yourself in the
warm hospitality and rich culture of Kerala by learning about the local way of life. Discover
one of India's ancient martial arts, Kalaripayattu, or visit the Kochi Cultural Centre to watch a
magnificent Kathakali or Mohinattam dance performance. And let’s not forget about the
colourful festivals of Kerala. Whether its boat races on Onam or vibrant temple procession,
there is never a dull moment in Kerala. So, go ahead and read on why you must book a
travel package from Surat to Kerala.
