Kerala is called ‘God’s Own Country’ for a reason. The serenity of the backwaters, the breathtaking greenery, the pristine beaches… anything and everything here can cast an enchanting spell on you. A trip to Kerala is something everyone should take at least once in their lifetime. It won’t be just another trip and is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience. Here are 19 reasons why Kerala should be your next travel destination.
1. The land of Ayurveda. No one does it better than Kerala.
2. It’s the perfect getaway, far from the maddening crowd.

4. The serenity of the backwaters of Kumarakom…
5. The magnificence of the beaches of Varkala…
