With its thatched roofs that seem to blend with the forest canopy, the resort of Spice Village of the CGH Earth Group, is one picturesque resort at Thekkady, Kerala. The resort is surrounded by forests and spice plantations. The architecture is inspired by local jungle dwellings. It is just a stones throw away from the Periyar Wildlife Reserve. With no air conditioning, televisions or nightclubs, the Spice Village resort is an escape into the past. The cottages here are built with brick and log, the roof thatched with elephant grass (usually used to build tribal huts) woven in a traditional technique. Even though the resort has modern amenities like plumbing, comfortable beds and hot showers, it still keeps with it the old world style and charm. Introduction to Spices, Pepper Vine tour, Wildlife Slide Show, Exploring Nature, Handmade Paper making, Yoga and Meditation, Sari demonstration, Classical Dance performance etc are some of the in-house activities offered by the resort. Stay at this out of the world place and experience nature first hand.
