Kerala is a southwestern coastal state of India, located between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, with a population of nearly 35 million inhabitants. Visitors enjoy the sandy coastline, stretching roughly 360 miles along the Malabar Coast and, although only making up around one percent of the total area of India, the city borders Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and the Arabian Sea. Though isolated from central India by the mountainous belt of the Western Ghats, Kerala has been exposed to many foreign influences via its long coastline, therefore forming a diverse religious tradition, culture and language (Malayalam). Kerala is also a tropical land with a generally pleasant climate and an average annual temperature of 28°C.
