Spice Village is located in the Periyar wilderness, high in the western ghats of Kerala. For centuries, the area attracted voyagers and adventurers, mercenaries and empire builders, kings and merchant princes. Men and women drawn not only by the lure of spices, but by the romance and wild beauty of the land. Periyar Tiger Reserve is a unique, precious eco-system, home to many endangered species of plants and animals.

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.
