A slice of heaven wedged in between the sensuous Arabian Sea in the West and the magnificent Western Ghats in the East, Kerala has over 44 rivers crisscrossing its entire length and breadth. God's Own Country enjoys unique geographical features like an equable climate, a long shoreline with splendid beaches, peaceful stretches of enchanting backwaters, lush hill stations and exotic wildlife, waterfalls, sprawling plantations, paddy fields, art forms, festivals, historic and cultural monuments coupled with an exotic culture, cuisine and much more. Kerala is one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Asia. One of the biggest advantages the state has is that most of these charming destinations are only a two-hour drive from each other. And one such "must stop by destination" in Kerala is Kottayam. Kottayam is fast becoming a much sought after destination in Kerala and for good reason too. A fine blend of tradition, natural beauty and progress, this place has much to offer to the varying tastes of each discerning traveller.
