The Travancore
Heritage is a sea side resort in 8 acres of
lush green coconut garden and landscaped environs
located at Chowara - south of Kovalam, near
Trivandrum, Kerala. The resort stands on a
high cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea and
a long wide beach of powdery white sand. The
Travancore Heritage is conceived and developed
as a Heritage Property to bring to life the
age-old traditional architectural splendor
of the region with its typical timber houses
and 'Nalukettus' with tiled roofing, which
allow for living in communion with all the
elements of Nature.
The courtyard within the 'Nalukettu' in its
center, around which the four wings of the
house were built in timber, bring in the air,
sunlight and the rain water right into the
house making the inhabitants live in tune
with Mother Nature. Travancore Heritage comprises
of many such houses built at various periods
in the past 60 - 100 years from several locations
in Travancore, rebuilt at the site after being
dismantled and transported with utmost care,
with all their architectural grandeur with
fine woodcarvings on the rafters, gables and
the connecting timber members on the walls
intact.
