Legacy of Royalty: Mattancherry Palace Walk by its Descendant

Step inside the historic Mattancherry Palace through a lens rarely offered to the public, alongside Balagopal Varma, a direct descendant of the Cochin Royal Family. This exclusive experience blends heritage, storytelling, and personal legacy, giving travellers access to a deeply intimate narrative of the palace, its architecture, and the traditions of Cochin’s royal lineage.

Far more than a conventional museum visit, this immersive walk offers a privileged perspective on the lives, values, and rituals of the Maharajas, brought alive through family anecdotes and behind-the-scenes access.

  • Hosted by a royal family descendant for a truly personal touch
  • Access to areas and galleries not open to the general public
  • A rare cultural experience that blends history, art, and oral tradition
  • Offers meaningful context beyond what's available through guidebooks or plaques
  • Ideal for discerning travellers seeking authenticity and exclusivity

Guests will walk through the grand halls and intimate chambers of Mattancherry Palace while listening to untold stories of Cochin’s royal past, shared directly by Balagopal Varma. The experience is steeped in rich cultural insight — from regal ceremonies and religious traditions to everyday royal life. With special access to lesser-seen parts of the palace, the journey offers not just a historical overview but an emotional and personal connection to Kerala’s royal heritage.
