The rainforests of Periyar sanctuary, the animals and the vast silences attract the modern visitor. On the road to Spice Village, it's easy to feel this centuries-old allure.  The earth boils in a fertile outpouring, every conceivable shade of green, flecked with the crimson and gold of mountain flowers.

This is a world of forests patterned in dappled sunlight. Plantations of rubber, coffee and spice. Rolling highlands and crisp, cool air.

The original inhabitants of these hills are the Mannans and the Ooralie tribes who still carry on their age old practices of herding and bee-keeping in perfect harmony with nature.

They live in tree houses, or huts with a distinctive grey thatch. This is  reflected in the cottages of Spice Village with its brick, split bamboo and elephant-grass design.

The resort itself consists of 52 cottages, set in eight acres of respectfully tamed forest. The architecture is inspired by the jungle dwellings of the area. 

The room categories available are : Private Garden Cottages & Spice Garden Cottages.
