The western ghats. The barrier that stops the Arabian sea. The natural abode of hill stations and beach resorts. Where Shivaji's fort still reflect his mastery of a game called war.


The western ghats. An undulating span of hills and valleys. Painted in exquisite shades of jade green, trunk brown, soil red and horizon blue. Rippled into the picturesque by twinkling rivulets of crystal clear water, a landscape rich in flora and fauna, playing host to an abundance of wildlife.


In a southern nook of this vast canvas, nestles what is today recognized as one of the world's last surviving Rain Forests. A veritable haven where society as man knows it, has existed for more than ten centuries before Christ.
