Dam, lake and mountains in Kerala

A coast above the rest. Dam, lake and mountains in Kerala

Kerala, seen in today's image, is a geographic wonderland. Here, the coastal plains and pleasant climate create a paradise for nature lovers. Located in the tropics, the state predominantly experiences a humid tropical wet climate, typical of many of Earth's rainforests. The climate in this area is largely shaped by the seasonal deluge brought by the monsoon rains. During summer, Kerala often faces gale-force winds, storm surges and heavy downpours from dangerous cyclones originating in the Indian Ocean.

Eastern Kerala is dominated by the Western Ghats, featuring high mountains, gorges and deep valleys. This region includes the Palakkad Gap, a natural mountain pass that penetrates the Ghats, providing access to inner India. The western coastal belt is characterised by its relatively flat terrain, contrasting with the more rugged eastern region. This coastal area is intricately woven with a network of interconnected brackish canals, lakes, estuaries and rivers, collectively known as the Kerala Backwaters. So, are you ready to journey into Kerala's backwaters, hills and beaches?
