Krishnapuram Palace In Alleppey
A rare specimen of the Kerala style of architecture, Krishnapuram Palace in Alleppey is a palace-cum-museum located in Kayamkulam Alappuzha district. The structure is complete with gabled roofs, narrow corridors, and dormer windows. Built in the 18th century by the erstwhile Travancore king Marthanda Varma Maharaja, the palace is today a protected monument under the Archaeology Department.
The traditional architecture of this palace attracts thousands of tourists every year. In addition to its architecture, Krishnapuram Palace has a mural depicting the story of Gajendra Moksham (salvation of elephant). Dating back to the 18th century, this exquisite piece of art is one of the largest murals in India and is a fantastic blend of colours and expressions. This 16-block palace is also famous for its museum that houses antiques, sculptures, paintings, weapons, megalithic remains, stone inscriptions, coins and artifacts in bronze.
Situated on a small hilltop, Krishnapuram Palace is surrounded by a terraced garden with fountains, ponds and lawns. The garden was recently renovated in accordance with the scientific techniques prescribed for the protection of heritage monuments.
While there are several statues inside the museum, the one that attracts the most attention is the statue of Buddha kept in a chamber in the garden. This single piece statue is more than a thousand years old. The museum also has a Bible in Sanskrit that dates back to 1886.<READMORE>
The palace and the museum are open between 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on all days except Mondays.Â

Trip to Kerala
Well experienced driver with more patience. Good service provided by Godwin Holidays Thanks a lot Munnar is very beautiful place. Thekkady not that much but ok Alleppy cruise experience nice but the room provided by them not good Night time very bad Cochin is very good Overall with good memories we reached HyderabadTrip to Kerala
It was a really good trip for us. The Cab driver was very cooperative and friendly. Already recommended couple of friends for travel triangle.Trip to Kerala
Hari and driver Prakashan were very helpful during the trip. Lake and Hills resort was a great experience with courteous service and delicious food. Hostess Thekkadi was a bit of let down where the bed was uncomfortable and service was reticent. Houseboat service was mediocre but they did perovide us with delicious seafood. Sunset in the houseboat Stay at lake and Hills.Trip to Kerala
The stay in Munnar was excellent. But boat house stay was very average. The staffs in boat house were good but boat was very old and rooms were not cleaned. The TT agent assured me of great experience but I was disappointed. Also the driver was not aware of roads and we were struggling for more than 1 hour just to find boat house location. Stay in Munnar, Munnar local sight seeingTrip to Kerala
It was a good trip only we had to be in a non ac cab for 2 days Jeep safariTrip to Kerala
The team arrangement for trip was ultimately fine , safe and enjoyable. The driver and resort every thing is fine and good . Thanks for the arrangement and everythingTrip to Kerala
The best thing about the trip was that Sunil sir was always in contact throughout the trip. He took care of all of the small things and made sure that we had the best experience. The hotel at Munnar - Mashumantra resorts (location is best for a nature loving person).Trip to Kerala
tour and itinerary were good, cab service could be improved also there were no interaction with local tour manager and we have to call to ask for the tour schedule and cab details. road trip especially from Gangtok to nathula pass is memorizing.... one can't imagine the natural beauty unless see through its eyes....Trip to Kerala
The Kerela package of 4nights and 5 days( Munnar &Alleppey) was gift to our parents on the eve of their 40th wedding anniversary. This is the second time I chose Travel Triangle to plan my holidays and we had a great experience thanks to the package planned by Inspire holidays. Mr.Mani from Inspire Holidays created the most amazing trip for us- fulfilling every need and request made by us.He went beyond expectations and delivered the best customer experience. They gave us a very comfortable plan considering our group of 9 people including adults, children and elders. Both the hotels Misty Mountain Resort and the Houseboat in Alleppey were very pleasant and satisfying. The driver Manu who was with us from the time of our arrival In kochi till our departure was very good natured, polite person and felt like a family member. We enjoyed the local food and delicacies thanks to him as he guided us to the best eating joints and he always kept the tempo traveller provided to us very fresh and clean. A very special Thankyou to Venus Kaur the TravelTriangle holiday expert who put all our apprehensions & worries to rest and always responded immediately to any of our concerns. Thanks to all of these who planned our trip and gave us a memorable experience Keep up the good work.Trip to Kerala
