Surround by clumps of bamboo and a stunning panoramic view of the valley and mountains, the magic in the infinity pool at Porcupine Castle Resort is best experienced late afternoon as the sun dips towards the hills to the west.
A very special experience, once guests have experienced the many charms that the plantation and forest offer, exploring the places of interest nearby, to be embraced by the cool water in the pool and watch the unfolding splendour of a tropical sunset.

Nature Walk
The highlight of a stay at Porcupine Castle is often the daily nature walk conducted by an experienced naturalist with an intimate knowledge of the forest and plantation. Starting early in the morning, the excursion will wind through thickly forested trails giving guests an opportunities to spot numerous species of animals, exotic birds in the branches of teak, rosewood and timber trees in the moist areas of the plantation and forest. Shorter species of trees grow in the relatively drier areas - flame of the forest, laburnum, yellow and Burma bamboo, jackfruit and medicinal trees like neem.
The forest is also home to four-horned antelopes, wild boar, crested porcupines and the black-napped hare that often wander into the plantation. Sprightly bands of primates (common langur and bonnet macaque for most part) are spotted foraging for food. Guests may even spot sloth bear, pangolin, giant and flying squirrels, giant fruit bat and the elusive slender loris besides wild civet cats foraging in the coffee bushes for coffee berries. The Travancore wolf, Ceylon cat eye, green vine and common trinket snakes may be also be encountered on the excursion.
