Eco-living in a reimagined tribal village with thatched cottages in the highlands of Thekkady. And here, we set out to build a resort.
(453)

Curling around a misty ridge 2,000 ft high in the Periyar fastness, we found an arborarium, one man's personal forest, with fruit trees, rare herbs and a profusion of flowering plants. A village, produced whole, using mountain spirit and tribal wisdom as building material.

A little closer to nature. A little further from the everyday.
A private garden to step into, a cosy corner to settle into, and intricately carved wooden furniture that lends each cottage its own character. At Spice Village, there’s room to enjoy the outdoors and the simple pleasure of slowing down indoors.

Our ingredients don't need a map to find the kitchen.
They're grown just metres away, on Spice Village's 2-acre organic farm. Seasonal vegetables, fruits and spices are cultivated using traditional methods, nourished by vermicompost made from our kitchen waste. Mixed farming and natural pest control support a balanced ecosystem, while local farming communities tend the land.
Here, the journey from farm to table is a short one, shaped by the seasons and the people who know the soil.

Some traditions are best kept alive by hand.
Every year, the Mannan community returns to thatch the cottages at Spice Village with elephant grass. More than a roofing technique, it is a generations-old craft that keeps the cottages naturally cool and sustains a valuable connection with the local community.

The best plans sometimes involve doing absolutely nothing.
A refreshing dip, the gentle rustle of trees, and an afternoon with nowhere else to be. At Spice Village, the pool is your invitation to take a break between Thekkady's forest trails and spice-scented explorations.
Save a little time for the art of doing nothing at Spice Village.

What happens when you shine a different light on nature?
During a field session, trainees of the Trail Naturalist Course conducted by Nature Guides Academy × CGH Earth used UV light to examine mosses and lichens, revealing fluorescent shades of blue and lime green that remain unseen in ordinary light.
Sessions like this turn curiosity into observation - introducing trainees to the tools, techniques and ways of looking that help them notice details that might otherwise go unseen.
This time, it was fluorescence in mosses and lichens. Tomorrow, it could be something entirely unexpected.
That’s the joy of learning in the field. Stay tuned for more glimpses into it.

For nights when the world disappears behind the trees.
Candlelight flickering across the table. The clink of glasses. A dish worth sharing. A breeze passing through as conversation lingers well past dinner.
At Spice Village, a private dinner for two sets the mood for an evening of great food, closer company and nowhere else to be.
Take your time. The night is yours.

Once home to Mr. A. W. Woods, the first Forest Ranger of Periyar Reserve, the Woodhouse Lounge & Bar keeps his memory alive in rather good spirits. Vintage photographs, old-world details, and a bar where conversations linger long after the sun goes down.
Come, raise a glass to Periyar’s history.
