About Mattencherry Palace in Kochi
A double-storeyed structure exemplifying the blend of colonial and Kerala architectural styles faces the tranquil backwaters of Kochi in the neighbourhood of Mattancherry.
Built by the Portuguese in 1555, the Mattancherry Palace was presented to the erstwhile ruler, Raja Veera Kerala Varma of Kingdom of Cochin. It was renovated almost a century later in 1663 by the Dutch who took the credit for its alternate title, the Dutch Palace. Today, it houses a portrait gallery displaying artefacts of the Cochin Rajas. The Mattancherry Palace in Kochi is also famous for having some of the best mythological murals in India.
This quadrangular structure primarily features Nalukettu style, a traditional Kerala architectural style, with a courtyard in the middle. It is a standing testimony to the nobility and lifestyles of upper classes in the region. The Bhagavathi Temple in the central courtyard enshrines the guardian deity Pazhayannur Bhagavathi. An exquisite collection of Mattancherry Palace murals covers an area of more than 300 square feet.
The ornate wooden ceiling of Dining Hall is elaborately decorated with brass cups. The palace’s traditional Kerala flooring also features noteworthy artwork. These eye-catching murals painted in vivid colours illustrate Hindu temple art and they depict scenes from ancient Hindu epics and Puranic legends in detail. The palace complex also exhibits dresses and weapons like swords and artilleries which belonged to the royal family. One section of the palace showcases the 17th and 18th-century Dutch drawings showing significant places of Cochin.

Trip to Kerala
Hotel Elephant route wasn't good enough, I have given 4 star for Hotel cuckmere in Munnar. One thing I want to highlight , travel agency confirmed me the booking of one hotel but later denied as it was not available. This is not acceptable but I had no choice i already did part of payment. This kind of practice should not be encouraged and needs to be corrected at right time.Trip to Kerala
If you want to make your trip worth, don't hesitate, just go with travel triangle. My trip to Kerela was made fabulous by them. The hotels were so great and icing on the cake were the sea view rooms.Also the houseboat was very satisfying amidst the backwaters! All in one bookings with Travel Triangle is worth every penny and also assure that where ever my next trip will be travel triangle has to be our backbone.❤️Trip to Kerala
Amazing trip to Kerala! Unrise made awesome arrangements. Boathouse experience was out of the world. Only one suggestion would be to ensure sufficient options are available in packages for groups looking for adventure or something different. Boathouse experience and Jeep Safari in MunnarTrip to Kerala
We had very average experience in the trip. The driver was not able to communicate properly with us. The number of sightseeing visits could have been increased by the driver.Trip to Kerala
Here whatever I type is less, i have got grt experience from great indian vocation, it was ultimate trip, thanks to travel Triangle. The driver cum Tour guide mr. vimal was one of the best person , i can't forget his friendly attitude and always ready at any time to go anywhere..all I can give 5star to everybody.. Only i can say hotel breeze munnar property is very nice but they need to improve their breakfast. Hotel jungle park at Thekddy i can give them 5 star nice property nice room yummy breakfast. House boat was fantastic experience.. Guys if u want to go Kerala, then choose great indian Holiday. And drive mr. Vimal. Thankyou Sarfaraz Shaikh 9820727965Trip to Kerala
We had very pleasant trip. Everything went well as per plan. Very good services from allTrip to Kerala
the Dream catcher resort at Munnar is a fabulous resort. Spice country resort at Munnar was good but Food is too bad and restaurant delivery time very late. The House Boat at alleppy is not as per Photos provided. It is Substandrd. Also it was Anchored at a Scary Place at night. But Food and service was good. The support from Maneesha was fabulous and she was responsive.Trip to Kerala
We had an awesome time in Kerala. The only concerns that we had were - 1. In Tea Valley resort, Munnar Airtel network wasn't there and so they should speed up their wi-fi at least. 2. The Houseboat wasn't upto our expectation. The whole trip has been customized according to our preference and so we really had a great time there. Thanks to Travel Triangle and Great Indian Vacation.Trip to Kerala
Super hotel with a super view It was really a very good experience travelling to Munnar and allepey Munnar hotel view Allepey boat house stay are very memorable We had a very good honeymoon spentTrip to Kerala
The cab and the driver were really good, no complaints about that. The whole trip the driver was really cooperative and friendly. He helped and guided us along the way. The only issue was with the wrong itinerary provided. As we were expecting the activities included in the itinerary but upon reaching there we were said that we had been provided with wrong itinerary.
