Huge coconut trees moving their head in tune to the cool breeze, banana plantations along the water bodies, peaceful stay in a houseboat in the backwaters, amid pleasant green environs, and, of course, finger-licking food to die for… Now, who wouldn’t want to take a break and visit the beautiful ‘land of coconuts’ and God’s Own Country — Kerala!
Kerala Tourism commenced the second phase of domestic marketing campaign with a National Partnership Meet in Hyderabad on Tuesday. This will be followed by events in Visakhapatnam, Kolkata, Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai, and other cities.
