An animated journey through
KERALA
God's Own Country
Wayanad
High in the Western Ghats, the mist never quite lifts. A heart-shaped lake rests atop Chembra Peak; below lie the Stone-Age carvings of Edakkal and the still reservoir of Banasura Sagar.
Munnar
Eighty thousand hectares of tea carpet the slopes at 1,500 metres — emerald contours, silver waterfalls and cool mountain air. The largest tea gardens in India.
The Backwaters
A ketuvallam drifts the palm-lined canals of Alappuzha — the Venice of the East — where village life still moves at the pace of the water.
Fort Kochi
As the sun rises over the water, the great cantilevered Chinese fishing nets dip and lift — six centuries of trade, silhouetted against a golden sky.
Kathakali & Theyyam
By lamplight the epics come alive — the painted faces and thunderous drums of Kathakali, and in the northern villages the towering, fire-lit ritual of Theyyam.
The Coast
Six hundred kilometres of Arabian Sea — the red cliffs of Varkala, the crescent sands of Kovalam, and a horizon where the sun melts into the water.
