Duke's Forest Lodge in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

Duke's Forest Lodge is located on the edge of the Peppara Wildlife Conservation Park, at the foothills of the Ponmudi mountains, on approx. 40 hectares of land with rubber plantation, palm trees, cocoa and coffee plants. Reception, safe, internet access, currency exchange.

Dining & Leisure

The airy restaurant overlooks the clear Kallar River and the adjacent jungle and serves tasty Ayurvedic dishes with ingredients mostly grown on site.

Ayurveda Center

In the Ayurveda Center (currently healing therapies only on request), under the direction of an experienced Ayurveda team, which is predominantly "borrowed" from the well-known sister resort Nikki's Nest, Ayurvedic regeneration and purification therapies are carried out. The complementary Ayurvedic medicine used consists exclusively of herbal products. In consultation with the doctors, a combination of the two houses is possible during the stay. The oils for both resorts are produced in-house on the plantation at Duke's. Yoga and meditation in the in-house "Prakarthi" Yoga Shala round off the offer.

Free Time

Large outdoor pool with sunbeds and umbrellas. Walks over the plantation. The team will be happy to help organize excursions to the surrounding area, boat and trekking tours or jeep safaris.

Hotel very clean, hotel staff very attentive, BUT:    1 - Transfer back to the airport much too early (starting at 5:30 am, and then we waited 4 hours at the airport with no exit outside the terminal because the security at the entrance of the terminal prohibits it.)    2 - Return to airport transfer poorly executed: the taxi left us at the wrong terminal, so we had to take another taxi at our expense     3 - There was only one male masseur, who "smeared" more than he massaged. The massages was very repetitive. I am used to SPA & massage, it is the worst I have done.     4 - In addition, with my 2 boys care was obligatorily spread from 10:30 am to 15:30. So impossible to make an excursion all together in the vicinity, and impossible to lunch together at noon (my first gacon ended his care around 12:30, so the time to take a shower and recovered he was at the restaurant around 13h qd I started at 13:30 my care) .... Too bad not to be able to eat with his 2 children during the week of stay ... It's not really the goal of a week together

It was a little paradise

If you are tired of the sea and love the rainforest, then this is the place for you. For everyone else, it could be too lonely, especially in off-season times. If that does not bother you, you will experience a wonderful nature.

very good and relaxing
