Kerala is a narrow strip of land along the southwestern coast of India, tucked between the Western Ghats to the east and the Arabian Sea to the west. It is one of the most beautiful and serene travel destinations in Asia and has earned a worldwide reputation for its unique backwaters, lush greenery, Ayurvedic wellness traditions, and gracious hospitality. People come to Kerala from all over the world to slow down, relax, and reconnect with nature.
The state is famous for its backwater network, a system of lakes, canals, and rivers that runs parallel to the coast. Staying on a traditional wooden houseboat called a kettuvallam and drifting slowly through the backwaters of Alleppey (Alappuzha) is one of the most iconic travel experiences in all of India. The hill stations of Munnar and Wayanad are blanketed with tea and spice plantations and offer cool, misty retreats in the Western Ghats. The beaches of Kovalam, Varkala, and Marari are among the best in India. Wildlife sanctuaries like Periyar are home to elephants, tigers, and rare birds in a stunning lake setting.
Kerala is also the birthplace of Ayurveda as a formalized wellness practice, and the state has hundreds of authentic Ayurvedic resorts and clinics offering traditional treatments and rejuvenation therapies. The classical dance form of Kathakali and the martial art of Kalaripayattu are also deeply rooted in Kerala's cultural heritage.
This Kerala travel guide covers everything you need to know to plan a memorable trip, from the best time to visit and top places to explore, to Ayurveda packages, houseboat bookings, and wildlife tours.
