The Travancore Heritage
-The Travancore Heritage is a sea side resort in 15 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.
