Devi Temple 

The main palace and the connected buildings put together takes atleast half a day for a quick exploration. Many parts of the palace are not accessible to visitors. For eg, the guide mentioned that the topmost part of the main building has a sacred room where a lamp is burning continuously from the Maharaja's time till date.

Another part of the palace has been converted to a museum where a lot of stone sculptures and other antiques are displayed along with the arms and ammunitions used by the royal army, vessels and urns used in the palace.

How to reach

Thiruvananthapuram is the nearest airport. From there, you could take a bus or hire a taxi to travel towards the palace. Its about 50 kms from the city. Nagercoil is the nearest town.
