India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. Incredible India (http://www.incredibleindia.org) has achieved multifaceted socio-economic progress during the last 62 years since its independence. Kerala, popularly known as God’s own country, is a beautiful state situated in the southern part of India (http://www.keralatourism.org).

Kadavu Resort is a luxurious resort hotel in the historic Calicut (Kozhikode) city of Kerala State. Calicut, the most important city in the Malabar region of Kerala, found a place in world history with the discovery of the sea route to India in 1498 by the Portuguese navigator Vasco Da Gama. Basking in the idyllic setting of the Arabian Sea on the west and the proud peaks of the Wayanad hills on the east, Calicut is known for its serene beaches, lush green countryside, historic sites, calm backwaters, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, waterfalls and ayurvedic treatment. The Kadavu Resort is located on the backwaters with groves of swaying, graceful coconut palms facing the dancing ripples on the water. It is situated 14 kms away from the Calicut city.
