Heading northeast from the coast, into the mountains of the Western Ghat, we met up with a guide for the day (Suresh Kumar) who honored our request to pass on another tea plantation in favor of the Pookode Lake. In the course of helping us identify and gaze in wonder at lots of plant and animal life which thrive in and around the lake, Suresh also gave us much to consider about the social, religious, and political aspects of Indian life.
Once again, hats off to the tour drivers of this country. The road to this resort is among the most memorable we've been on. Do not attempt to drive here by yourself. But do come here. This property is owned and managed by a company who has built its reputation on providing the highest quality, environmentally-supportive experiences possible. There are several good videos on their website and on YouTube. Watch them, and you'll see why this is a good fit for us.
