Spice
Village - Thekkady
Curling
around a misty ridge 3000 ft high in the Periyar fastness, we
found an arborarium, one man's personal forest, with fruit trees,
rare herbs and a profusion of flowering plants. And here, we set
out to build a resort. A village, produced whole, using mountain
spirit and tribal wisdom as building material. Your cottage is
brick and log, the roof thatched with the same elephant grass
used in tribal huts, woven in the same traditional techniques.
Of course, the comforts of a modern hotel exist, but they never
intrude.
