Kerala Motorcycle Tours
KERALA – popularly referred to as “God’s own country” in tourism circles, lives up to it’s tag in more than one ways. Kerala is a place resplendent with natural beauty. It’s breath-taking views & natural splendors pull aside their green curtains to greet every traveler. No wonder it was chosen by National Geographic as “one of ten paradise on earth and one of 50 must-see destinations of a lifetime”. One of the 28 Indian states on the tropical Malabar coast, it is known for it’s palm-lined beaches, backwaters, network of lagoons & canals, tea, coffee & spice plantations, coconut groves & rice paddies. The state’s name, in fact, originates from 2 words; “kera” and “alam”, where “kera” means coconut and “alam” means land.
Eastern Kerala consists of high mountains, gorges and deep cut valleys of the “Western Ghats” which form a wall. In a blink of an eye mists slip over emerald green hills creating a “heaven” like panorama. The wildest lands are covered with dense forests while other regions lie under tea & coffee plantations. Kerala’s coastal belt is relatively flat, teeming with paddy fields, groves of coconut trees. In other words, it’s a motorcyclist’s delight.
Apart from the food, pristine rain forests and beguiling beaches, the one feature that is exclusive to Kerala are the backwaters. Heavily criss-crossed by a network of inter-connected canals & rivers it is a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km of waterways, and sometimes compared to the American Bayou. It is a unique ecosystem; freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea.
Also known as the “land of spices”, Kerala has been gifting the rest of the world; flavor, fragrance and colour for many centuries. The climate of Kerala is ideal for the cultivation of a wide variety of rich spices. Some of the most favoured spices of Kerala include Pepper, Cardamom, Vanilla, Clove, Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Turmeric, etc. Over the past few centuries, Kerala has secured a favourable position in the global spice market with its variety of spices in terms of both quality & quantity. It is in fact a matter of pride for Kerala that a tremendous share of the world’s total spice trade is still being contributed by this small state. Being bestowed with Kerala as its rich spice bowl, no country in the world produces as many varieties of spices as India.
