Beginning from the sixth century BC to the contemporary, Kerala's journey through time and history has lend her many unique colors, flavors and life styles. From being one of the most frequented ports for sailors from the Far East and Central Asia during pre-history, she is today home to the emerging metropolitan of Kochi, the first colonial town in the commonwealth.

 

Kerala’s historic past is tinged by the presence of various other cultures. Each of which bequeathed timeless treasures to this land. The Arabs, Dutch, Portuguese, English, French, and Danish, who came here at different points of time, left indelible marks in the history of Kerala which is evident in its monuments.

 

Churches around Kochi were established as far back as in AD 72, her mosques are the oldest outside Arabia and her synagogues carry the rich Jewish scrolls…. Our heritage tour packages offer you a chance to re-live history.

 

The festivals of Kerala transcend the level of mere entertainment. They are inherited from the age-old tradition that excludes the essence of Kerala. Years ago, when Kerala was a small clique of agrarian villages, there used to be an imperial god or goddess who, it was believed, protected them. Therefore they performed many rituals to propitiate the gods when they came down to earth, supposedly to accept offerings. Festivities were social events in those days when social life revolved round temples.

 

Kerala rich in cultural heritage, has its own art forms that reflect the way of living and outlook of its people. Ranging from the classical art form Kathakali, recognized the world over, to folk dances in which can be found the unsophisticated imagination and rhythmic impulses of a sensitive people.
