About Spice Village – A Village in the Wild

Nestled at the edge of the Periyar Tiger Reserve, Spice Village by CGH Earth is a pioneering eco-resort inspired by the lifestyle of the indigenous Mannan tribe. With its thatched-roof cottages, forest-friendly architecture, and deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, the resort offers guests an immersive experience into nature and local traditions. The dining experience at Spice Village reflects the same philosophy—organic, seasonal, and rooted in the culinary heritage of the Western Ghats.
