Bolgatty Palace, the delight in Kochi

The hustle and bustle of the city has taken a toll on you. And if you think you need a break from this, you can take a day off at Bolgatty, which is quite close to the city. This island located at Mulavukad, was the palace of the Dutch colonial administration centuries back. But now we have a bunch of tourists who come here from different parts of the state. With the  renovated Bolgatty Palace located in the island, it is bliss for the workers and others in the city that needs a break. You can't at all times getaway to Thekkady or Munnar for a holiday. With the huge sums of money and time that it takes, it's always better to opt for someplace nearby. When the kids do some horse-riding (but honestly, the horse looks sick and distressed to the core!), the adults can indulge in the pretty sight of the scenic backwaters, and also sip on some coffee. The reviews on the Bolgatty Palace restaurant aren't that great. As we all know, it is the basic nature of the government run hotels to be 'not so good'. The complaints regarding service and hospitality has also been talked much. But you can always drop in at Bolgatty with family or friends to have fun, chat, spend the day, and come back home happy. This weekend, maybe you can try that out.
