Named as one of the ten paradises of the world by National Geographic Traveler, Kerala is one of the prominent tourist destinations of India, with coconut-lined sandy beaches, backwaters, hill stations, Ayurvedic tourism and tropical greenery as its major attractions.
Kerala is a state in southwestern India, located along the Malabar Coast. It is bordered by Karnataka to the north and Tamil Nadu to the east, while the Arabian Sea lies along its western coastline.
Whether it's sandy beaches, serene hills, or tranquil backwaters, Kerala offers a variety of perfect destination spots to provide the most memorable backdrop for your special day.
Kerala is defined by its vast network of canals, lakes and rivers, which together make up those fabled backwaters. All along the coast, relaxed beach towns deliver palm-fringed sands, seafood shacks and Ayurveda centers, while inland waterways thread past spice-growing farms and palm trees heavy with cococuts.
Kerala has 14 districts with Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) as the capital city which is situated in the southwestern coast of Kerala. The Port city Kochi and Kozhikode are the two major cities in Kerala. Kerala has three airports which provide international as well as domestic connections.
