The rich art and culture of Kerala is unparalleled, and at Thekkady you can book yourself a front row seat to immerse yourself in this glorious experience. Kathakali, the traditional dance of the state, is one of the major classical dance forms of India. 

The performance heavily relies on facial expression, as it takes its audience on a journey, narrating stories based on Hindu mythology while the dancers are decked up in elaborate costume, makeup and face masks. 

Kalaripayattu is one of the oldest forms of martial arts practiced in the country, dating back to over 3000 years. It offers a riveting performance with the use of freehand techniques, as well as mind blowing displays of weaponry and fire.
