Showcasing the cultural richness of the erstwhile Travancore kingdom that now lies in the southern part of the state, the Kerala Government is set to begin a Rs 100-crore Travancore Heritage Tourism Project (THTP) that envisages conservation of the region’s palaces, mansions and temples.
The project will ensure that the old-world looks of the structures will be retained, besides illuminating the landmarks of the city to give them greater visual appeal in the evenings.
THTP, overall, covers heritage structures from Padmanabhapuram Palace, now in Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, to the Parthasarathy temple on the banks of the Pampa in Aranmula of Pathanamthitta district. The first phase will be carried out in four stages across Thiruvananthapuram district, giving fillip to the tourism development.

The preliminary works for Kerala Tourism’s four-phase ₹100 crore ‘Travancore Heritage’ to develop a well-curated heritage circuit by stringing together major heritage locations from Padmanabhapuram palace to the Parthasarathy temple in Aranmula to showcase the centuries-old historical evolution has commenced.
In a changing scenario in the tourism industry where the focus is on heritage and culture of the land, the proposed circuit is expected to give a fillip to tourism promotion in the capital and increase footfalls.
