An eco-friendly resort nestled in the heart of Mother Nature, far from the hustle and bustle. Unwind with views of the jungle and river. Ayurvedic oils produced on-site, sister hotel to Nikki's Nest.
Duke's Forest Lodge is located on the edge of Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary, at the foothills of the Ponmudi mountains, on a property of approximately 40 hectares featuring rubber plantations, palms, cocoa, and coffee plants. The location is ideal for a variety of activities: hiking, bird watching, photography. Welcome to a rendezvous with Mother Nature at Duke's Forest Lodge!
The airy restaurant, overlooking the clear Kallar River and adjacent jungle, offers tasty Ayurvedic dishes mostly from its own produce.
In the Ayurveda Center (currently treatments bookable only upon request - please contact us), led by an experienced Ayurveda team mainly from the renowned sister resort Nikki's Nest, ayurvedic regeneration and detox treatments are conducted. The supplementary Ayurvedic medicine is exclusively plant-based. Coordination with the doctors allows a combination of stays at both properties. Oils for both resorts are produced on-site at Duke's. Yoga and meditation in the on-site 'Prakarthi' Yoga Shala complete the offerings.
If you're looking for the perfect spot for a Yoga retreat with your group, secluded from all disturbances, you can privately practice and meditate in the Yoga pavilion with views of the river and jungle. The garden and pool invite relaxation between Yoga sessions, while the Ayurvedic meals (full board) gently nourish you. Ayurvedic treatments and excursions can complement the Yoga programme upon request. Just contact us!
Large outdoor pool with loungers and umbrellas. Walks through the plantation. The team is happy to help organise excursions in the area, boat and trekking tours, or Jeep safaris.
Five private villas built on pillars feature a bathroom and bedroom, fan, and a large terrace on the first floor, with an open relaxation room and plunge pool on the ground floor. Four standard rooms in the old manor house (about a 10-minute walk from the restaurant) with shower, fan, and telephone. SGLs are DBs for single use.
