Spice Village - CGH Earth

situated in the scenic tea growing region surrounded by lush hills. Spice Village provides guests with an immersive experience of the region's renowned spices, including pepper and cardamom. The resort's unique architecture mimics that of a traditional tribal village, and the sprawling grounds are home to various varieties of spices and fruits. Guests can wander through the verdant grounds and enjoy the fragrant aromas of the herbs and spices. The space Curling around a misty ridge 2,000ft high in the Periyar vastness, we found a ranger's home, with fruit trees, rare herbs and a profusion of flowering plants. And here, we set out to 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. 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.
