One of the main reasons we decided to journey to Thekkady was to have the chance to see Spice Village, CGH Earth’s (and Kerala’s) most sustainable resort. The resort is built in the style of a tribal (Mannan) village and is laid out as a series of traditional huts with thatched roofs. This was our experience.

Ten years ago, Kumarakom was designated as a focus area for Responsible Tourism by the Kerala Tourism Board – meaning that the area had been identified as a tourism hotspot, where efforts towards more Responsible Tourism were needed and had the potential to achieve lasting results. This was our experience at Coconut Lagoon, a beautiful and luxurious heritage resort by CGH Earth.
