What People say about Spice Village..

“Exotic retreat”

We were delighted by the spice gardens, the spacious bungalows, the cooking demonstrations, the musicians playing sitars while we dined on the outdoor deck tasting all sorts of Indian specialties. We visited the nearby Periyar natural park. The staff was friendly, the location is ideal for anyone who wants to spend some time in the midst of exotic spice gardens. Reviewed 25 February 2013

“Charming, loved the setting”

Spice Village is special. Lovely individual bungalows built in traditional style set in beautiful gardens full of spice and food trees and managed sustainably. The food was great, much coming from their own gardens, serves on the balcony of the restaurant. Don't miss the naturalist led tour of the gardens, worm farms, paper making. The Ayurvedic massage was really good. The surrounding village of Kumily was full of spice shops and great place to wander and mingle with the locals. Reviewed 14 February 2013
