TODAY WAS AN EXCITING DAY FOR US. OUR CAMP ORGANISED ONE DAY TRIP TO TWO DESTINATIONS KUTHIRAMALIKA AND VELI
The words Kuthira Malika means ‘mansion of horses’ and the uninitiated may think that the palace is a grand stable built to house horses. In reality, the building gets the name from the row of horses that are sculpted into the brackets that support the roof. The palace, also known as Puthen Malika Palace, is adjacent to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram. It was built by Swathi Thirunal Balarama Varma, the ruler of the former Kingdom of Travancore who was a social reformer and poet and musician. It was built in the traditional Kerala style in the 1840s, with pillared verandahs and overhanging eaves.
The Veli Tourist Village which lies where the Veli Lake meets the Arabian Sea provides for unique boating and picnicking opportunities. Very good picnic spot to spend with family and kids. We went for boating and it was thoroughly and experience to cherish. The scenic views are awesome and and there is a path way to stroll along the water body.
The place is well maintained and there are lots of kids activity and play area.
