Green Land Spice Garden, Thekkady

A great experience to visit this magnificent spice garden. We were lucky enough to have a private tour with the owner (4th generation family owned) which lasted about an hour. He’s really passionate and explained a lot of interesting facts to us in a perfect English. We were able to smell and taste a wide variety of spices and fruits from his garden and to admire beautiful flowers. Nice little shop with home products at the end. Highly recommend.

I learnt so much from the knowledgeable guide about names of and uses of the many different spices, fruits and herbs. It was wonderful to see papaya, banana, avocado and pepper growing in the trees. The guide spoke fluent English and was able to answer all my questions. I bought fresh cardamom from the shop and will look forward to cooking with this when I return home. Thank you for sharing this beautiful garden with tourists.
