I love Kerala-God's own country

Kerala-Gods own country

                             Kerala is called "God's own country".There is a reason for that.First of all Kerala is the so beautiful.Every where its green that gives a sooting effect to our eyes.There are many places to see in Kerala.Kerala satisfies both youth and elder people at the same rate.Actually there is no need to visit places to see the beauty of Kerala.Everywhere its beautiful.You can enjoy beaches,Hill stations,Wildlife,Photography etc in Kerala.Also travelling through Kerala is an entirely different experience.Also you can enjoy travelling with Elephants,its beautiful to see Majestic elephants taking a bath.Taking a bath in a river is an amazing experience.Never miss this.Travelling in a Royal Enfield Bullet all around Kerala is another experience that you should not miss if you are a foreigner.Enjoying the sea is very relaxing,if you have friends,playing in beach is the best thing you can do and yes swim in sea.I've done this many times with my friends.There are many tourist centers in Kerala,needless to say they are so beautiful to watch because Kerala is rated as one of the paradises on earth.There are many water falls in Kerala,infact so many water falls.Its nice to watch those waterfalls.Teens don't be unhappy,they want to enjoy much more than just natural beauties.In Kerala there are so many pubs and Clubs,mainly in Cochin,.Most of the teens today enjoy late night parties and guys are girls in kerala are so beautiful and guys in Kerala can be called as "Rockers" because guys in Kerala tend to adopt a western culture and here we are able to see more open and outgoing guys than rest of India.Anyway youths in Kerala is outgoing and fun to be with.Tourism got so much preference in Kerala,so ofcourse there will be cultural mixing.So I've said how beautiful is Kerala.If I continue saying it won't end,but now its time to tell about Kerala in detail.

                          Kerala is a state in India.It is located on the south-western region of the country.Although its in India,there is a difference in culture of Kerala,infact there is difference in everything compared to other parts of India.Local language is Malayalam and English is used for official purposes and most of youths talk English too.Schools and Colleges promote the use of English.Hindi is not used in Kerala.Trivandrum is the capital and largest city in Kerala.Cochin is a very much developed city.Kozhikode is a major city too.Culture of kerala is so much different from other states in India,elders tend to be much conservative but youths adopt western culture than conservative one.Maybe due to the influence of English.Most of the youths in Kerala enjoy Hollywood movies and Malayalam ones too.Viewers are more for English channels and Malayalam channels but Hindi songs are also enjoyed although its popularity is very less compared to English and Malayalam.Kerala is a popular tourist destination famous for its backwaters, Ayurvedic treatments and tropical greenery. Kerala has a higher Human Development Index than all other states in India. The state has a literacy rate of 94.59 percent, the highest in India. A survey conducted in 2005 by Transparency International ranked Kerala as the least corrupt state in the country.The word "Kerala" is derived from "Kera" means Coconut tree and "alam" means land and that name actually fit kerala so much because Kerala is really land of coconut.The main three religions in Kerala are Christianity,Hinduism & Islam.There are also Jews in Cochin called "Cochin jews".Climate of Kerala is humid but hill stations like "Munnar" in Kerala experiences a cool temperature.Anamudi is the highest peak in Kerala reaching about 2,695m.Lake "Vembanad" is the largest water body in kerala.There will be boat races in "Vambanad".Its fun to watch.Almost a fourth of India's 10,000 plant species are found in the state.Kerala's fauna are notable for their diversity and high rates of endemism.Altogether, 24% of Kerala is forested.Main destinations of Kerala include Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kozhikkode, Munnar, Kovalam, Thekkadi, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Chettikulangara Devi Temple,Parumala, Malayattoor, Thrissur, Varkala, Kannur, Sabarimala.Kerala has 145,704 kilometers (90,536 mi) of roads (4.2% of India's total). This translates to about 4.62 kilometers (2.87 mi) of road per thousand population, compared to an all India average of 2.59 kilometers (1.61 mi). Virtually all of Kerala's villages are connected by road.Kerala's human development indices— primary level education, health care and elimination of poverty—are among the best in India.Kerala has the highest life expectency in the country which is nearly 75 years and 78 years respectively for males and females. The life expectency of Kerala is similar to developed nations in the world that shows the facilities for treatment and health.The life expectency of Kerala is similar to developed nations in the world that shows the facilities for treatment and health. Kerala's healthcare system has garnered international acclaim. TheUnited Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organisation designated Kerala the world's first "baby-friendly state" because of its effective promotion of breast-feeding over formulas.Elephants are an integral part of daily life in Kerala. Indian elephants are loved, revered, groomed and given a prestigious place in the state's culture. They are often referred to as the 'sons of the sahya.' The ana (elephant) is the state animal of Kerala and is featured on the emblem of the Government of Kerala.The National Family Health Survey - 3, conducted in 2007 ranked Kerala as state with the most media exposure in India
