About Kerala State, Introduction to Kerala
Kerala is one of the smallest states in India. It comprise an area of 38,863 square km with only 1.3% of the total area of India. It comprises of a narrow coastal strip bounded by the Western Ghats in the east and the Arabian Sea also called the Lakshadweep Sea on the west.
Kerala’s climate is broadly tropical and humid, moderated by its proximity to the coast.
The climate is also heavily influenced by the seasonal heavy rains brought by the monsoon. But its mountains which line the interior mean a larger variety of climate than on other tropical coasts. While a night spent up in the mountains may be cool and even showery, just a few hours below will almost always be the baking heat.
