Spice Village
Region
Kerala
Location
Thekkady, Periyar, - Takes just under 4:00 hrs to drive from Cochin Int. Airport.
Overview
A tribal village set in a spice garden in the cool highlands of Periyar in Thekkady. Spice Village is modelled on the dwellings of the native Manan tribe of this region and exudes the raw spirit of unblemished nature.
The experience here is a seamless extension of the verdant landscape around and celebrates all things spice be it the unique spice-enriched culinary offerings or the spice tours that help bring the guests closer to the land and its people.
If you need evidence that comfort is easily obtained without intruding on Nature, you don't need to look further than Spice Village's cottages. No fancy carpets. Just coir mats on bare stone floors. Modern bathrooms and interiors, but with a spartan elegance based on simple, natural materials and local woodcraft.
No artificial air-conditioned spaces here. Just cool, naturally lit rooms and airy private porches. So, open a window, and your mind as well. And let your senses be enveloped by the sounds and scents wafting in on the forest air.
