Crafted by the hand of Gods, Kerala is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Its sobriquet of God's Own Country is well deserved. The entire expanse of Kerala is blessed with beauty, unmissable attractions and some of the most scenic places to visit. Synonymous with coconut trees lined adorning the village further, Kovalam fondly is also known as the “grove of coconut trees”. Much more than beaches, Kovalam has its charm even in the lighthouses that haunt you and remind you of the great times ahead. 

Tamil Nadu's long and beautiful coastline isn't the only gift nature has bestowed on this southern state. ... Be it the Anamalai Hills, which reign as South India's tallest, or the great railways of Nilgiris, the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu make the state a destination worth visiting.
