Chamundi Palace was my first destination upon arriving into India and I must say it was a truly a relaxing and memorable experience. I arrived stressed out and tired, however after 10 days here, I felt rejuvenated, calm, relaxed and was able to start my travels! The staff was very attentive and welcoming. Jibu the manager is extremely helpful to... More

Recently I spent 5 blissful days at an ayurvedic resort outside Kochin – in a hill side town of Kanjirappally. The resort of Chamundi Hill Palace is on a hill side estate. The current owner – Mrs. Saroja Thampi, was married to the grandson of the Raja. The main house was in fact built for the Raja about 75 years... More

I first discovered this "hidden gem" back in 2007 when I spent a week there as a "try out". of Ayurveda . This experience was so amazing I have been coming back every year. The standard is extremely high, treatment is carried out by caring and experienced staff and only after one day you feel the warmth and homely atmosphere.... More

With some trepidation as one new to ayrveda, one bumps along hiways, byways & tracks, past huts & cottages, rubber plantations and vendors of all kinds to finally reach the gates of Chamundi. Warm welcome and straight into the 'drill' of massages, vegetarian food and yoga. After 24 hours, you feel you have done it all your life and can't... More

Set on a hill overlooking rubber plantations, Chamundi is a lovely rambling old bungalow with a wide verandah on the ground floor on which meals are taken. The food is delicious, healthy and hearty vegetarian Indian food with... More

As other reviewers have noted, Chamundi Hill Palace Resort is a wonderfully tranquil counterpoint to the noisy chaos of much of India. This was a solo week for me after extensive traveling in Rajasthan with my husband and sons during the 2 preceding weeks. I chose Chamundi Hill primarily for some relaxing warm weather time; I was curious about Ayurvedic... More

To start with it is not a palace, but a beautiful country house on the top of hill.This is a rubber plantation estate with some spice gardens and orchids. The accommodation in the main house particularly up stairs is good, nice and clean. However there is no hot water in the ensuite bath room, It is a lovely resort. It... More

If you are after a break from the chaos which pervades much of India, then Chamundi Hill Palace is the perfect tonic. Though it seems to cater mostly to people staying for 10+ days for ayurvedic treatments, it was still absolutely fine to stay for a shorter length of time - the only problem was we wished we could stay...
