Holidays in Kerala offer spectacular scenery, beautiful beaches, palm filled countryside and stretches of emerald backwaters. Located to the south of India, Kerala overlooks the Arabian Sea and boasts magnificent beaches and historical sites. Beautiful lagoons, lakes and rivers, as well as tea and coffee plantations scattered across the countryside, complete the picture. Two of the best beaches in Kerala are Kovalam and Varkala, lined with seafood restaurants and a good range of facilities. No holiday to Kerala would be complete without a visit to the Periyar Wildlife Reserve to see Indian elephants and tigers in their natural habitat. The state capital Thiruvananthapuram is also worth a visit. The best time to holiday in Kerala is between October and March
