Kerala, a region of India apart, almost another country after all. At the same time, with a country of 1.23 billion inhabitants, comprising more than 25 states, and home to 3,000 dialects, 27 of which are officially recognized, how can it be otherwise?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kerala, whose name means “land of coconut palms” in Malayalam, is so green that the English made it their favorite holiday resort. And it’s true that I’ve never seen so many! A verdant region with 8 months of sunshine a year, where you can let yourself be carried away by house boats gliding along the many canals (the famous backwaters) leading to fishing villages, themselves surrounded by coconut groves and rice paddies. Kerala is a mountainous region covered with coffee and tea trees and a land rich in aromatic plants.<\/p>\n

Kerala is all about tropical charm and generous nature, where you can do so much in 15 days. A varied journey through beaches, spices, jungle, waterfalls, wildlife and tea and coffee plantations. Kerala also rhymes with relaxation, being the cradle of ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine! It’s a perfect vacation and wellness destination with a unique character that will enchant you for your first time in India. In my opinion, it’s the most affordable region of this great, bewitching country. A state that lives up to its nickname of “God\u2019s Own Country<\/strong>” (God’s own country).<\/p>\n

The differences between Rajasthan and Kerala are many and marked: the friendliness and warmth of the people, the diverse landscapes, the milder temperatures and the delicious food. With over 34 million inhabitants, Kerala is one of India’s richest states<\/strong>. Keralans enjoy a better quality of life, with one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world, and have access to levels of healthcare and education almost comparable to some Western countries. it’s also probably the cleanest region in the country overall, and the one where poverty is least visible. Finally, what also impressed me was the rather harmonious cohabitation of different religions. Indeed, believers are very tolerant of each other, and in the same town you can find a Hindu temple, a mosque, a church or even a synagogue.<\/p>\n

Our journey begins in Cochin<\/strong> and will take you to Mysore<\/strong> in Karnataka, passing through Madurai<\/strong> in Tamil Nadu. We’re going to introduce you to 3 departments in South India.<\/p>\n
