Spice Village in Thekkady
Spice Village is the essence of a mountain tribal village, re-imagined for the modern independent traveller. A tribute to ancient ways of life. And to one man's patience and passion. Curling around a misty ridge 2,000ft high in the Periyar vastness, there was a ranger's home, with fruit trees, rare herbs and a profusion of flowering plants. And here, CGH earth build a resort. A village, produced whole, using mountain spirit and tribal wisdoms as building material. Of course, the comforts of a modern hotel exist, but they never intrude. Modern plumbing, comfortable beds and hot showers find their place, but in a setting stripped down to its natural essence. Hewn stone replaces shag carpets. Birdsong takes the place of television. Air-conditioning is unnecessary anyway in the fine mountain climate and what would it do but mask the heady scents of spice wafting through the air.
