I have visited Kerala many times since childhood and always found it amazed me with hospitality and love. I still remember my encounters in Kerala with gushing waterfalls, peaceful and serene tea gardens, vast coastlines with roaring waves, misty hills, colorful festivals, local traditions, dance, music, and inviting locals. Loving people of this state in India makes it to top of my favorites list and I love the way they always greeted with warm smiles, simple lifestyle, and helping attitude. I learned a lot from their simple lifestyle which makes them unique in the whole world. I always found out new me when I returned from my Kerala trip as people here taught me unique perspectives in life. People here are always ready to greet strangers with full love, warmth and always they impress you with their simplicity and vibrant attitude. I found eternal love, hope, peace, and joy in God’s own country.
Whenever people ask my suggestion on which place to visit, then I always suggest Kerala to their bucket list. Experiencing Kerala is not only visiting a place to see natural beauties but it teaches us a way of living through their simple ways of living, simple rituals, innocent people, and exotic culture.

One of the most beautiful and heart touching incidents from Kerala, I would love to share with you is –
In one of my visits, when I was trying to catch a local bus in Thrissur, I was confused about which bus, direction, and what I have to tell to the driver, as I was unknown to the local language. So, I thought of asking fellow people standing at the bus station, and suddenly I found that one man left his bus which he was about to board and came with me to my bus point. He very politely explained to me which one to take and then took me to that bus, and also explained to the driver in his local language about my destination point. I was wondering a person who has to reach his workplace on time, left his bus for me and accompanied me to drop me into the correct bus. I felt so safe after this incident. And also on the local bus, all became very friendly as they all came to knew that I am new in Kerala. They tried to explain with me in their local language about Kerala, many local beliefs, stories, etc. And all those talks were so enlightening for me to experience Kerala. Those stories by local people are still fresh in my mind and they were more knowledgeable than any book or scriptures as they were truly felt by humans and told to humans. This kind of experiences always touches your soul and bring some good out of us.
For me, it was human to human connection and on return, my baggage was full of emotions, friendliness, and love. So do you want to experience Kerala – Human by Nature and fill yourself with love, peace, hope, and tranquility? You get many souvenirs at many places in the world but when you return from Kerala, the biggest souvenir you carry from here is humanity and love. Now you know why it is said “God’s own Country”
