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.

oh they have a fantastic staff, Priyanka and Amit i interacted with (Funday Holidays). They will be with you right from the beginning till the trip ends, its not just they book your package as per the requirements, they also take care that properties and the itinerary is treating you how you expected and they will try their best to meet your requirements. I am definitely going to recommend this (already have done so) to my friends and families. Thanks for wonderful experience Amit, priyanka and Mr. Biju ( Our cabbie). Biju is a artist, knowledgeable, very flexible as and when required. and a amazing person. Best driver they say he is. Truly he must be i feel. My trip was 4 nights and 5 days, this included stay at premium resorts (best in the town) plus two times meal (recommended for outside travelers, it will be cheaper and better convenient) plus cab from pick up to drop Kochi (pick up from airport and railway station)-Munnar (2N)- Thekkady (1N) - Allepey (1N) -kochi (railway station drop) Funday Holiday justify their name, keep up the good work towards customers.Trip to Kochi
Thanks for the great and fantstic trip! We booked the kerala trip to kerala in february 2019 ahmedabad to kerala by plane. It was amazing trip where we had enjoyed a lot. We are satisfied with the services provided by the agent. I have planed 5 Days & 4 Nights in Munnar (2N)Thekkady (1N)Alleppey (1N). Munnar is the best hill station. We enjoyed a lot here. We stayed in Seven Springs Plantation Resort which is 10km away from the munnar. Its the best place but time consuming to reach there. The we went to Thekkay and stayed in Periyar Nest Resort. Periyar Nest Resort is the best resort and break fast is too good. We seen kathakali and marshal art here. Then we went to alleppey which is best place for boat. We book AC Deluxe private honeymoon Houseboat and stayed there our full night. We had a honeymoon package so we did candle light dinner and enjoyed a lot. A special mention of Mr. Kuldeep who helped us select premium hotels and resorts for whole of our trip.. Thank you to make this a memorable one!. The one thing I need to mention is that kerala is more time duration because all the areas such as Munnar, allepey, Kochi and thekkady are on distant locations and take 3 to 4 hours to reach.All of it was a Great trip and we all enjoyed a lot!!!Trip to Kochi

Kerala-OverAll experience Good- I want to give complete feedback on trip with pros and cons pros: 1.Travel triangle ppl(ankita Shekhawat-trip advisor for our trip) actively coordinated and quoted decent price(mm travels) compare to other travel agents,she is prompt and helpful whenever needed. 2.Driver allocated for us Mr.Ravi was very good,professional and friendly person 3.Hotel Rooms allocated in Kochi IMA House-good,Sara Hotels and apartments-very good,Thekkady-Tiger roare-good,Munnar summar Castle-average,Lake park cruise houseboat-poor 4.Hotels allocated for us other than Munnar summar castle are very good with reasonable prices for food Cons: 1.Travel Triangle(Mr.Ayush-who spoke to us tried to convince us without giving any option) they changed our itinerary before paying our second installment as it should be Kochi-Munnar-Thekkady-Alleppey-Kochi but changed to Kochi-Thekkady-Munnar-Alleppey-Kochi because of this our travel distance increased as we were travelling with kids but somehow driver opted for short route and our travel journey decreased 2.Hotel Summar Castle Munnar-we are not satisfied with the location and food choices are very less and costed more 3.Lake park cruise houseboat(Alleppey) -poor service- a.Though we communicated our preference of food they served our food at 2.30 as we check in around 1pm b.Power and water were not there until 6 pm as they said inverter was down c.A/C operative time is 9 to 6 they given us at 7 but was not operative most of the time because of rain and power fluctuation d.Morning break fast was worstTrip to Kochi
I would like to take this moment for appreciation of your efforts to serve people as if they are your own family members while they travel through your company... Thank you so much for all the help and ensuring safety which is first priority... Munnar jungle safari Elephant riding Kochi market roamingTrip to Kochi
overall experience of our trip was amazing. we were two families of 7 people travelling together but mr. abhinav singh from holiday package had taken good care of our entire trip planning till the time we fly back to mumbai. our first stay at Munnar was awsome at bird valley resort. we have enjoyed sight seeing too. The driver Mr. Roy Joy was fantastic and had amazing driving skill helped us a lot throughout the trip. he was really a well mannered person and suggested us ultimate options to make our trip memorable. morever the experince at houseboat was really mesmerizing. We enjoyed the Food and service too. once again special thanks to abhinav singh for last moment arrangement of the hotel near airport at kochi as our flight got rescheduled in the early morning. with the loving memory of kerala in our heart we fly back to mumbai. a big thank you to travel triangle and holiday package for a memorable trip. an amazing stay in bird valley resort at munnar and mesmerising experince in houseboat at alleppey will be remebered forever ......Trip to Kochi
The trip was very good. But what we felt is the planning of places(guidance by travel agent) can be done still better..... We were offered munnar-allepey-kochi package. But what we felt is rather it can be made as 2 days Munnar and 1 day Alleppey and kochi Because 3rd day we went to kochi and there was nothing to be visited...... We were disappointed to have wasted 1 precious day..... Whereas we could have utilised it in Munnar, where there are so many places to be visited It would have been really awesome if were suggested 2days Munnar and 1day kochi and Alleppey trip We had wonderful time in Munnar and Alleppey. The sceneric beauty of Munnar is treat to eyes and so pleasing..... Just loved it
