CGH Earth's properties celebrate local cultures, art, architecture, cuisine, communities, and the environment.
Travellers can access trained personal holiday specialists by filling out a simple form on the brand's website.

Travellers have a range of destinations, experiences, and landscapes to choose from. They can discover the hidden forest life in Wayanad, explore spice plantations near the Periyar Tiger Reserve, immerse themselves in the rich history of Fort Kochi, cruise the Kerala backwaters, indulge in the cultural hotspots of Chettinad and Kumbakonam, or fall in love with the beauty of the Andaman Islands.
