Travel Information.

The State of Kerala is located in southern India, on the Malabar Coast. Kerala is best known for its unique network of backwaters; a self supporting eco-system vibrant with aquatic, plant and bird life that meanders past palm tree-fringed rice paddies and villages, before flowing into the Arabian Sea.
