environs located at Chowara - south of Kovalam, near Trivandrum, Kerala.

wide beach of powdery white sand.
The Travancore Heritage is

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.
Travancore
Heritage, the total
heritage resort represents authentic, traditional Kerala architecture,
with its quaint tile-roofed timber houses, which allows for a living in
communion with all the elements of nature, in perfect resort ambience.
Perched on a high cliff in a panoramic hinterland of about 8 acres which
overlooks one of the best and widest beach strips in the country, lined by
a canopy of green coconut palms, the view is absolutely breathtaking and
will linger in the mind's eye of the viewer for a long time afterwards.
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.
