Azure
seas …silvery sand beaches…intricately decorated
temples…limitless stretches of greenery… mist
shrouded mountains…art galleries and museums…feasts
and parades…Your voyage of Kerala begins in Thiruvananthapuram,
the capital of Kerala, where history has a character and
royalty has a charm. A city where the beautiful shadows
of the past coexist with the present. A city that is calm
and yet teeming with vigour. A city where tradition and
modernity coexist beautifully.
