the shimmering waters of the Arabian Sea to a cool mountaintop draped in thelush green of a tropical rainforest. On the way you might cross one of the forty
rivers in the state or may even paddle across an idyllic backwater or two.
Nestled in the beau ful environs of Kerala, you will also ﬁnd a modern, openand developed society steeped in age old cultural and ar s c tradi ons.
From the life giving warmth of the tropical sun to the tempestuous andcool caress of the monsoon rains; from the muster of a hundred tuskers and a thousand drums at Thrissur Pooram to being all
on your own on a houseboat ﬂoa ng on the Ashtamudi lake; from seeing ancient metallurgy at work at Aranmula forming
mirrors without glass to seeing a sounding rocket blast oﬀ from Thumba, you can experience it all in Kerala, a thin strip ofland tucked away at the p of the Indian peninsula.
