 Most
of India's finest beaches are in Kerala. For
virtually its entire 600 kilometer length, Kerala's
coast is lined with sandy beaches, rocky promontories
and coconut palms. Each year greater numbers
of visitors - budget travelers and jet-setters
alike arrive here in search of sun, sand and
palm-fringed beaches.

 Drift
into a land that time forgot watch picture-book
towns and ancient trading posts float by. Wave
at that little girl. See the sky shimmer through
the coconut canopy. Listen to the tales of exotic
birds. Allow the wind to bring you the oarsman's
Song. Sail a cloud. Dream a dream.
Kerala's centuries-old, palm fringed backwaters
stretch over 1900 kms. There is a Kerala that
lives along these backwaters. And it's an incredible
experience to sail down these soothing waters
in a country craft to absorb this unusual representation
of Kerala life. |

 Soak
yourself to the skin, Shed all inhibitions, Surrender

big and small. |
