Introduction Which country occurs to you when you hear the terms like ‘mystic’, ‘mysticism’

and ‘occult’? Ask any person at any corner of the world. ‘India’ is surely going to be the commonest reply (who can say, ‘India’ is the only answer from all the people). The greatest poets in world literature have not only referred to India as a mystic land, they have also been initiated to certain mystic practices to quench their thirst for mystic knowledge. The country with rich heritage still retains its mystic flavor. Come to Kerala. Feel the mystic thrills. Kerala is one of the most favorite tourist destinations and spiritual tour destinations for travellers from all parts of the world.

Situated in the southwestern part of India, this state is a green land- streaked land alongside Arabian Sea.

Afterwords:

Travel is no travel if it is without a compatible company. When you stand at a Kerala beach and watch the sailing away of the fishing boat with an evening view of the boat getting smaller and smaller till it appears to be a little floating and swinging lamp on the vast sea, you may unknowingly say, ‘look at that’. If your company or travel partner thinks you to be excessively romantic for your excitement at this view, there can be nothing more frustrating. To check your travel compatibility you can try MB Astrology Travel Compatibility Software (http://www.mysticboard.com/mb-free-astrology-travel-compatibility). Come to Kerala with a compatible company. You just cannot miss the mysticism India – it’s incredible.
