Spice Village
Thekkady, Kerala, India · CGH Earth · Accessible Luxury
CGH Earth's Spice Village puts thatched cottages of elephant grass in a garden at Thekkady, on the edge of Periyar Tiger Reserve, in the country of the Cardamom Hills that once moved pepper and cardamom to the coast. The garden is a spice map, guests walk to the Periyar lake for the boat, and the village scale of the thatch keeps the hotel low against the trees.
