Dewalokam is a farm forested with well yielding rubber
trees, littered with huge teak, mahogany, ayani, mango,
jack trees, white Cheeny, sizeable Elau trees, a number of
big and yielding tamarind, different mongustan species. |
Varieties of flowers and
plants including orchids, climbers, and normal bamboos and
spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and mint like thulasi,
cardamom, cloves, ginger, turmeric, vanilla, tamarind, red
cheera, and taro plants with their lush oil green leaves
spread greenery every where. The twittering and hooting of
the birds and animals all around adds to the feeling that
you are in a forest. Our farm is home to a lot of wild
birds.
The trees produce fresh fruits with exotic flavour during
the months of February, March, April and May. Pineapples,
papaya, different kinds of delicious plantains and passion
fruits are available round the year. Rambutan, mulberry,
lemon, luby, ilumbi, avocados, water apples and many other
fruit trees give the impression of being in a world of
foregone times. The fish ponds in Dewalokam offer the
guests a feel of water life. The farm produces meat, fish,
milk, eggs and vegetables for our own consumption and we
are able to sell the surplus.
Dewalokam is an eternity away from air and noise pollution.
All that the guests see is nature in its pristine, virginal
unspoiled form, wonderful growth of trees and plants. All
that we hear is the singing of the birds in our trees and
across the river. We hear the constant calls of pheasants,
we see buzzards, kites, eagles sailing in the sky, and
sometimes perching on our own tall huge trees. In our farm,
even if you come to us stressed or care worn, you get
transported into the world of pure nature, the world of
wonderful colours and sounds.
The ayurvedic herbal garden, in its initial stages, has a
lot of rare and precious plants. The live-stock section has
cows, buffaloes, and a few goats that yield milk. Pigs,
rabbits, chicken, geese, turkeys, ducks, and guineas also
live in our farm along with the other animals. |
