Inspiring hotel next to the nationalpark
You immerse into a different world: little, lovingly decorated bungalows are set on the hilly, green premises with all kinds of different plants and at its centre a nice pool with fresh water. The consequent ecological approach ist impressing and inspiring: no plastic is used, water is recycled, food waste composted. Spice Village is a great starting point for tours into the nationalpark (the staff at the reception was a great help concerning information and organization): green walks, boat trips, jeep tours (In August, we saw neither tigers nor elephants but - on a trekking tour - a black panther, which is very, very rare.) ... But the hotel itself also has a lot to offer: Every night, you can take part in cooking (spice) demonstrations and watch dancing performances which we often did during our 6-day stay there. I especially appreciated the guided tour of the property as not only the ecological concept was explained to me, but also the flora and fauna pointed out, e.g. bats hanging in the trees and a giant squirrel eating a jackfruit. Making handmade paper was also a lot of fun! Last but not least the great variety of the excellent fresh food at the buffets for breakfast and dinner should be mentioned! So we'll definitely come back if in South India again!
