Thanks to the vision of CGH Earth as this historic palace has been thoughtfully transformed into a premier Ayurveda retreat, while preserving its royal charm and cultural heritage. At Kalari Kovilakom, the essence of traditional healing continues to thrive in a setting soaked in history.

Another renowned wellness destination is the Kairali Ayurvedic Healing Village, known for its authentic treatments and holistic approach to health and well-being.

Both places offer visitors a chance to experience genuine Ayurvedic healing in a serene and culturally rich setting.

Palakkad is also famous for the Kalpathy Ratholsavam, a vibrant chariot festival that feels like stepping into a living cultural museum. Nearby, visitors can explore the impressive Palakkad Fort, scenic countryside, paddy fields, and traditional Ayurvedic wellness centers.

Palakkad

Palakkad is the place where nature, culture, and history come together. Palakkad, also known as Palghat, is a charming city in central Kerala, often called the “Granary of Kerala” because of its vast green paddy fields and strong agricultural base. It’s also known as the “Gateway to Kerala” from Tamil Nadu, thanks to the Palakkad Gap, a natural mountain pass through the Western Ghats.

The region has a rich history, with roots going back to the Neolithic period, and has seen influences from the Chera, Chola, Pandya dynasties, the Mysore rulers, and the British. The famous Palakkad Fort, built by Hyder Ali in 1766 and later strengthened by his son Tipu Sultan, is a must-visit historical site.

Palakkad is unique for its blend of Kerala and Tamil culture, which can be seen in its food, festivals, and everyday life. Surrounded by natural beauty and steeped in tradition, the city offers a peaceful yet culturally rich experience for travellers.

Palakkad Fort – a historic landmark in the heart of the city, also known as Tipu's Fort, Palakkad Fort is a well-preserved 18th-century fort located right in the center of Palakkad town. Maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), it offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into Kerala’s history.

The fort, in its current form, was rebuilt by Hyder Ali of Mysore in 1766 AD and later modified by the British when they captured it in 1790. It served as a military base and administrative center during British rule.

Designed with strong granite walls, corner bastions, and a wide moat, the fort reflects a mix of Dravidian and Islamic architectural styles. It once had a drawbridge at the entrance, now replaced with a permanent structure.

Kollengode Palace: A Glimpse into Royal Kerala

Located about 25 km from Palakkad town, Kollengode Palace (also known as Kollengode Kovilakam or Kalari Kovilakam) is the ancestral home of the Vengunad royal family. This beautiful complex is a fine example of traditional Kerala palace architecture, with wooden ceilings, carved pillars, open courtyards, and the classic nalukettu layout. The Nalukettu (also spelt Nalukettu) is a traditional architectural layout found in Kerala, especially in large ancestral homes (tharavads) of upper-caste Hindu families like Namboothiris and Nairs. A Nalukettu consists of four wings (blocks) of rooms arranged around a central open courtyard (nadumuttam). The name "Nalukettu" literally means "four blocks" in Malayalam (nālu = four, kettu = blocks/structures).

Surrounded by green paddy fields and the scenic Western Ghats, the palace offers a peaceful, royal atmosphere. It is not a single building but a group of traditional structures like the main residence (Paddy), granary (Pathayappura), bathing house (Kulappura), dining hall (Oottupura), and family temples — all made from laterite stone and wood, with sloping tiled roofs and intricate carvings.

Once the residential, spiritual, and administrative centre for the Kollengode kings, the palace also shows strong influences of Namboothiri (Brahmin) traditions in its design and customs.

Today, the palace functions as a District Heritage Museum, managed by the Kerala Archaeology Department. It displays ancient sculptures, murals, folklore items, and even artefacts from the Megalithic Age, offering deep insights into the history and culture of Palakkad. A temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu is also part of the palace grounds.

Entrance fee: No, but visitors have to book an appointment to go inside the palace. 

Timings: from 12:00 AM to 12:00 PM. 

Jainmedu Jain Temple – A Quiet Reminder of Kerala’s Jain Heritage

Located about 6 km from Palakkad town, Jainmedu Jain Temple is a 500-year-old shrine that reflects the rich history of Jainism in Kerala. It stands in the peaceful suburb of Jainimedu, which means “Hill of the Jains,” once home to around 400 Jain families who migrated from Mysore in the 15th century

Built by a family of diamond merchants from Karnataka, the temple is made of granite and covers around 32,000 square feet. It blends traditional Jain architecture with touches of Kerala style. The main deity is Chandraprabha, the eighth Tirthankara, and the temple also features idols of other Jain Tirthankaras and Yakshas.

One of the highlights of the temple is its calm and spiritual atmosphere, with open prayer areas and strong, plain granite walls that add to its charm.

This temple is also known in Malayalam literature—it is believed that the great poet Kumaranasan wrote his famous  poem Veenapoovu (The Fallen Flower) here, inspired by the temple’s serene surroundings.

After years of neglect, the temple was restored in 2013, bringing back its spiritual and cultural significance. Today, it remains one of the few surviving Jain sites in Kerala.

Timings: from 07.00 AM to 10.30 AM & from 05.00 PM to 07.00 PM

Village Tour to Peruvemba (Without Guide (Visit to Handloom Village,Pot maker’s colony):

Peruvemba – The Village of Traditional Drum Makers:-

Peruvemba is a culturally vibrant village located about 15 km from Palakkad town, known for its centuries-old tradition of making leather-based percussion instruments. For over 200 years, the Kadachi Kollan community here has preserved this rare craft, creating instruments like the Mridangam, Chenda, Maddalam, Tabla, Timila, and Idakka—widely used in Kerala's classical and temple music.

Visitors can explore local workshops to witness the detailed, hands-on process of crafting these instruments. Made from jackfruit wood and natural hides such as cow, buffalo, or goat skin, each piece takes around 2 to 3 months to complete. The work involves selecting and drying the wood, hollowing it by hand, and preparing and fitting the leather—an art that requires both precision and years of experience.

A visit to Peruvemba offers a unique glimpse into Kerala’s musical heritage and the skilled artisans who continue this proud tradition.

Handloom village – A visit to Kallanchira place in Peruvemba village is where one can experience the age-old art of handloom weaving. Nestled amidst picturesque surroundings, the villagers of Kallanchira craft exquisite textiles in their homes, preserving a tradition that has been passed down through generations.

The rhythmic clatter of the loom and the skilled hands of the weavers tell stories of a legacy that continues to thrive despite the modern era. Guests can visit a pot maker’s colony to watch the potters at work in Peruvemba nearby 

Visit a beautiful village called Karipode Thara: In the village of Karippode, people are engaged in the traditional home-based preparation of authentic Murukku, a popular South Indian snack. Made from a dough of rice flour, urad dal flour, cumin, sesame seeds, and ghee, the mixture is skillfully shaped into coils and deep-fried until golden and crisp. The process is labour-intensive and requires experienced hands. On average, women in Karippode produce 200 to 400 Murukku pieces each day. For over 300 years, the Mannadiyar community, especially women, have upheld this tradition, turning it into a thriving cottage industry. Today, around 500 households are actively involved in Murukku making, with their products distributed across the entire district.

Taste the special, famous idlis (steamed rice cakes) at a local tea shop in Ramaserry: Enjoy the famous Ramassery Idlis—soft, flat steamed rice cakes—served in small local tea shops in the village of Ramassery, near Palakkad. Unlike regular idlis, Ramassery Idlis have a unique taste, texture, and cooking method, making them truly special.

This traditional dish has a history of over 200 years. It was introduced by the Mudaliar community, a group of weavers who migrated from Tamil Nadu and settled in Ramassery. The women of the community began making these idlis as a part of their livelihood, and the recipe has been passed down through generations. Today, the fifth generation proudly continues to prepare Ramassery Idlis in the same authentic way.

A visit to Ramassery offers not just a taste of this unique delicacy, but a glimpse into a living food tradition.
