Our World
High above the forests. Deep within the Western Ghats.
A world shaped by cliffs, clouds, and calm
Beaumont Plantation Retreat is an intimate eight-room plantation hideaway in the quiet village of Chellarkovil, just 14 kilometres from Thekkady and the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Set on a dramatic 3,200-foot cliff in the heart of the Western Ghats, our world opens to sweeping views of the Cumbum Valley in Tamil Nadu—one of the most breathtaking natural vistas in the region. Cool mountain air, mist-laced mornings, and an unbroken green horizon define the rhythm of life here.
A world where nature is not curated, but lived
Surrounded by dense forests and rich biodiversity, Beaumont exists at the edge of wilderness. The nearby Aruvikuzhi (Chellarkovil) Waterfalls and the forested slopes around the retreat create an environment of rare stillness and natural beauty. This is a place where birdsong replaces noise, where time slows, and where nature reveals itself without interruption.
A world rooted in spice and soil
Beaumont is a living cardamom plantation, not a themed resort. Guests are invited to experience our signature “Cardamom: From Farm to Market” journey—an immersive walk through cultivation, harvesting, and the legacy of spice trading that has shaped these hills for centuries. Every path, aroma, and view carries the story of the land.
A world of simple adventures and village life
Life at Beaumont blends gentle exploration with quiet discovery. From village walks, forest treks, and nature trails to birding, spice walks, off-road drives, cycling, and hill rides, each experience is grounded in authenticity. There is no rush here—only meaningful ways to engage with the landscape and its people.
A world designed for restoration
Located deep within the Western Ghats, Beaumont offers forest immersion therapy programs for guests seeking mental clarity, emotional balance, and true disconnection from urban pace. It is a setting ideal for long stays, reflective travel, and those drawn to silence as a form of luxury.
A world within the Cardamom Hills Reserve
Situated inside the Cardamom Hill Reserve (CHR), Beaumont Plantation Retreat is part of one of the world’s most celebrated cardamom-growing regions. This protected ecological zone gives our retreat its distinctive character—where biodiversity, heritage, and sustainable living exist in quiet harmony.
This is our world.
Cliffside, forest-bound, and intentionally untouched.
Where geography becomes an experience
Strategically placed between wilderness and wonder
Beaumont Plantation Retreat is located in Chellarkovil, a quiet high-altitude village just 14 kilometres from Thekkady and the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. This rare positioning allows guests to enjoy proximity to one of South India’s most iconic wildlife destinations while staying far removed from tourist congestion. The result is the best of both worlds—easy access without compromise on peace, privacy, or authenticity.
