Located in the village of Kumily, two miles from the shores of Lake Periyar, Spice Village consists of 52 thatch-roofed cottages spread out amongst 8 acres of gardens.
The cottages have been designed using local traditions and materials, and the gardens are full of the scents of spices from around the region. Spice Village has been developed in harmony with the local cultures and environment. Much of the food cooked in the restaurant is grown in the resort's organic vegetable gardens, with organic crops grown in neighbouring villages. The resort has its own composting and water treatment plants to recycle food waste and water.
The resort is an ideal base for visiting nearby Periyar National Park and arranges visits to nearby villages and spice plantations. From with the resort, you can watch dance performances and cookery demonstrations, and the resident naturalist guides will be happy to explain the wildlife you are likely to see in the park.
