According to the Hindu Mythology, Parashurama (The sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu) threw his axe from Kanyakumari into the Arabian sea, causing the sea water in its vicinity to recede and creating the divine land of Kerala.

Amidst the vast expanse of cold blue Arabian Sea and green lush skyscraping Western Ghats, Kerala is a serene delight to one's tourism appetite. It is the perfect mixture of tranquility, adventure, wild life and soul soothing scenic beauty.

One of the major tourist states in India, Kerala caters the needs of lakhs of people seeking for the nirvana of holiday. Blessed by the enigma of 44 rivers flowing across the surface in their quest to rendezvous with the Arabian Sea, the fertile lands of Kerala bask in the shadow of green and lush nature.
