The reason why Kerala enjoys worldwide attention is partly due to its pleasant geography, which sees the Arabian sea in the west part and in the eastern part lies the Western Ghats. The unique resource location of Kerala enjoys a network of 44 rivers adding to its phenomenal beauty. Exotic wildlife, paddy fields, lush green forests, beautiful backwaters, picturesque locations and many more are what defines the inherent beauty of the place, giving travellers like me to visit the place year after year.
