Shopping in Thekkady

Shop for Spices in Thekkady       
Kumily Spice Village:    
They charge you just to enter setting you back almost by Rs.300, as it iss charged per head. The shop here also does not sell in quantity of your choice and you will have to buy packaged.

A better option is the market in Thekkady which is right at the junction. There is a Spice Castle which is at the beginning of the lane and Lord's Spices at the end of the lane. The latter offers really great prices like coffee for Rs.50 for 1/4 kg and they also sell soaps in singles. There are also gift packs of spices which offer a variety of spices in a simple plastic or boxed. Spice Castle offers very good quality spices that lasts 3 years.

Besides the spices,  there are Kashmiri shops selling traditional handicrafts. There is a Kerala Government Handloom shop selling exquisite fabric. In addition, there is just one government-recognised Handicraft emporium worth a visit which sells wall hangings with Raja Ravi Varma paintings and wooden curios.
