Flame of the Forest

My experience for resort - Flames of Forest (Punjapura) was worst. Please see below how: I called the resort office and Manager (Parvez) both. They don’t show any interest in doing bookings and don’t care about whether clients book or not for their resort. Somehow I connected with one of the resort’s manager about the issue and some discounts related then I finally got some discounts and booking done. It’s unbelievable that they charge for, services are not provided per charges. Initially they charge Rs 9000+Taxes per room/night with 2 persons occupancy and rooms are not even worth of Rs 2000/-. Rooms- No problem gates locking system per safety, security concerns. Anyone can come and open easily in your absence through secondary keys. No Proper cleanest rooms, washrooms are almost open from rear side from jungle areas, no soaps, shampoo, face wash, hand wash available in washrooms. Spiders are all around you in bedrooms. Anyone can see you easily from outside of windows, no proper arrangement in rooms to maintain your privacy, you’re always uncomfortable about your safety, security. No landline 📞 or call facility available from rooms for any housekeeping related needs. Always call Resort Manager for all small small issues, it’s your luck if sometimes he answers your phone or many times he won’t respond! I went with their as couple family with 3 years old children for his birthday celebration, that special day of celebration was totally spoiled there because of their poor services, delays in responding and forcing to just accept what they have there only. They didn’t give welcome drinks or Tea/Coffe at least upon our initial arrival there. It was Friday- NO Other Families or Clients were there in whole resort, it was just my family, that’s it. Then I realized that this is not a good resort for families safety purposes. Resort Staff Members are always gossiping in groups like abusing languages and making fun of so cheap language and talking about non-veg, eggs, etc in evening time for themselves because they had no customers so they openly cook nonveg, eggs for themselves and probably do drinks 🍹 too. This is not how resort’s business operates anymore. The moment we entered, resort manager rushed me to do instant full payment of the resort and no humbleness was shown in his body language. We checked in to the room somehow, rooms are badly smelling like insects 🕷️ house. We had a lunch then, in that totally old chapatis, Old Daal and Cold rice’s were served. I never expected that in such a decent amount of rates they charged us. We silently walked out to room after that pathetic lunch/old food experience. Then in evening, no high tea was arranged, their cafeteria was closed, we ourselves went there, turned ON Cafeteria lights to ask for Tea from Cook. Then, We went for cake cutting and birthday celebration, it took me until 10:30pm to 11:00pm , I came for dinner and again same food quality, cold rice, rotten/ old chapatis, food is almost finished, we eaten it a bit and went for sleep. 😴 Next day morning, in breakfast, cook had reused same Methi Aloo sabji into making Methi Parathas 😁, Old Smelly Curd was served and Just Bread Jam and Breakfast is Done. So, all in all, do not ever visit with specially your family to this resort, it’s good food boyfriend/girlfriends, or group of boys or just locals only. This place is full of feelings about goons in evening time because anyone there do wine parties openly and so much suspiciously. Resort Manager (Parvez) arranged me local Birthday Decorator and Cameramen, both of them were having very derogatory conversations with me about payment and were charging me insane huge amounts for basic decor work and camera man was also same. In this Decor work & Camera Man booking Resort’s Manager Adds his Commission To make money. When I excused it, Situation became so unexpected for me. Since, we were as a small family with child, Somehow we left the resort next day & till now cameraman had hold my birthday data after payment.

Had an amazing time at flame of forest is a very beautiful resort! The surroundings were breathtaking, with lush greenery and a peaceful atmosphere that made the stay truly refreshing. The adventure activities were thrilling, and boating was a serene experience, allowing us to soak in the beauty of nature. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of flavors that added to the overall experience. Every meal was a delight! The hospitality was top-notch, making the stay even more enjoyable. A perfect place to unwind, connect with nature, and create unforgettable memories. Highly recommend it!

It is incredibly disappointing. Even after navigating such a bad road to get there, there were no basic amenities, and no drinking water or food available. Rooms: 1 Service: 1 Location: 1

We recently visited Flame and Forest for a short family getaway, and it turned out to be a truly delightful experience. Our entire family, including our elderly parents, thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent there. The staff deserves special appreciation — they were extremely supportive, attentive, and committed. The manager himself was very hands-on, which clearly reflected in the motivation and enthusiasm of the entire team. While the property is slightly run down in a few areas, its unique location and serene surroundings more than make up for it. We were particularly impressed by the safety measures during boating — the availability of life jackets and the seriousness of the team towards guest safety were very reassuring. Overall, it was a memorable experience. We look forward to returning soon — hopefully with a larger group — and hosting a big celebration at your beautiful resort Trip type Vacation Travel group Family Rooms: 3 Service: 4 Location: 5 Hotel highlights Great view, Quiet

Over priced location with poor service as well as the food quality is bad. The boats are in super bad condition even they charge money for that too. The roads leading to the place is worst. Never ever take your sedans to this location or else you will regret it for the whole life. Travel group Family Rooms: 2 Service: 1 Location: 5 Hotel highlights Quiet

We were a group of 15 adults & 1 infant. They provided us 8 cottages in a row. Our overall stay was really great. They have a huge swimming pool with few other activities like rappelling & rock climbing. They also organise a night trek to … Read more on Tripadvisor

I recently stayed at Flame of the Forest Resort and had a mixed experience. What I liked: The resort has a very peaceful and relaxing environment. The lake-view seating area was beautiful and one of my favorite spots. The greenery during the monsoon season made the entire property look stunning. The swimming pool was good, and the room service was quite quick and responsive. Overall, I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to disconnect from city life. What I didn't like: I paid around ₹9,000 for one night, which included breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but honestly, I don't think it was worth the price. There were very limited activities for children between the ages of 3 to 10. The kids' pool was quite dirty and had many insects in it. Unfortunately, the boating service was unavailable due to the low water level in the lake. Also, the resort was charging around ₹6,000–₹8,000 for safari services, which seemed excessively expensive compared to actual safari destinations. Regarding the food, I think there is room for improvement. During lunch and dinner, there were only two vegetable options, and usually only one of them was appealing. However, apart from that, the food quality and taste were good. Another drawback was the lack of a TV and Wi-Fi service in the rooms. Since mobile network coverage was very poor in the area, providing Wi-Fi would have greatly improved the guest experience. Overall, Flame of the Forest Resort is a great place if you are looking for peace, greenery, and a relaxing environment, but considering the price, there is definitely room for improvement in terms of facilities, activities, and guest amenities.

This is a very good place if you want to take rest from your busy days and want to have some peace. Behtareen jagah hai, area bada hai, swimming pool hai all time open, swings under tree, rest area, AC rooms and sabse best khana ek number. Breakfast, lunch, evening snacks and dinner. Room ke samne lake view. Ekdam sukun wali place hai. And service bhi badiya, waha ke care takers ka nature bhi ekdam helping and friendly hai. And pet friendly hai but waha unke yaha already 3 dogs hai to bas wo dhyaan rakhna. Baaki to full sukun and aaram wali place hai. Baarish and thand mai jyada better. Planning to visit again soon.
