Geography

Getting to know Kerala

Kerala occupies a narrow strip between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, laced along the coast by a network of lagoons, canals and backwaters navigated by traditional houseboats. Inland, the Ghats rise into the tea and spice plantations of Munnar and Thekkady, home to elephants and, at higher elevations, cool mist-covered hills. Kerala is also India's home of Ayurveda, with wellness retreats found across the state.
