The southernmost state of India, Kerala is India's most literate state, with the highest Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI) and life expectancy and lowest infant mortality rate making it truly 'God's Own Country' as
it is popularly known. It is a narrow stretch of land flanked on one side by the Arabian Sea and on the other side by the Western Ghat mountain ranges. Palm-fringed backwaters, scenic beaches, misty mountains, evergreen rain forests, gushing streams and waterfalls, all make this ancient spice capital of the world the most sought-after tourist destination. No wonder, the National Geographic Society chose Kerala as one of the 50 must-see destinations.
