Places to Visit in Kochi | Cochin Tourism

kochi tour and travels

Widely known as the ‘Queen of Arabian Sea’, Kochi/Cochin is a paradise for travelers who come in search of wonders. Kochi is one among the top rated international travel destinations where tourists can closely experience the glimpses of pre-historic, historic and modern era. Kochi is in fact the heart of God's own country – Kerala. It is the financial capital of the city with booming IT industry and various other trading endeavors as it is one of the chief port cities in the country. This cosmopolitan city has everything that can attract tourists irrespective of the seasons such as the comforts of a metro city, amazing beauty of nature, incredible culture, and so on. Be it an adventurous trip or a laid back holiday experience, Kochi tourism would never disappoint any of its visitors.

Historical Importance of Kochi

The known history of Kochi dates back to the 14th century, when we were under the colonial rule. In fact Kochi was the first European colony occupied by the Portuguese. After the Portuguese, the city was occupied by Dutch and British respectively, and made it a Princely state. Since it was the major port city, Kochi was considered to be the main center for the spice trade during that period. Greeks, Romans, Jews, Syrians, Arabs and Chinese were the main traders of spices. According to historians, the Kingdom of Kochi came into existence during the 12th century after the Chera Kingdom.

The specialty of this place was that many traders who came to this land, Jews being the prominent ones, later got settled here for various reasons. From the Portuguese rule Kochi went into the hands of the Dutch and later British. The Anglo-Dutch treaty of 1814 forced the Dutch rule to handover Kochi to the British rule. Under the British rule, the modern city started to develop with the large modern port and the largest man-made island called the Willington Island.

During the post independence era, the Kochi Maharaja agreed to join the Indian union and then in the year 1948 the royal state of Travancore-Kochi merged into the newly formed Indian Union. On your Kochi Tour , take the time out and do explore its historical grandeur.

Geographical Importance of Kochi

Kochi is located in the southwest part of the Ernakulam district. The geographic peculiarity of Kochi is that most of the areas in the city are at sea level with 48 kilometers of coastline. Cochin is also beautified with the astounding splendor of backwaters which attracts travelers from around the world. The major parts of the city are surrounded by water bodies and thus there are so many beautiful islands in and around the city to visit.

Because of being a coastal area the weather here is usually humid similar to that of Goa. The presence of Western Ghats on one side helps in getting a good amount of monsoon as well. The usual temperature here varies between 30°C to 35°C through the daytime and 25°C to 28°C through the nights. However the city experiences the best weather from mid September to mid March.

Sightseeing in Kochi

There are a number of places to visit in Cochin to experience the historical, cultural and geographic wonders. For travelers who are in quest of nature’s beauty, places like Cherai Beach, Vypeen Island, Fort Kochi Beach, Kodanad elephant Training Centre, Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary, and Marine Drive are must visits. The Indo-European style of architecture reflected in the old churches and temples of Cochin is a major attraction among visitors who come for Cochin tour . Santa Cruz Basilica, Church of Saint Francis, Vallarpadam Church, Kadamottom Church, St. Antony’s Shrine, Chottanikkara Bhagavathy Temple, Ernakulathappan Temple, Ettumanoor Shiva Temple, and Poornathrayesa Temple are a few of the most visited sightseeing places for its architectural wonders.

Kochi City

If you're not a fan of big cities, or just need a break from the constant crowd, the much slower pace of Kochi City will be a welcome addition to your travel itinerary in Japan. Kochi City..

About Kochi

Located in the Shikoku region, Kochi Prefecture (高知県, Kōchi-ken ) is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of the legendary Japanese revolutionary Sakamoto Ryoma, one of the most important figures in modern Japanese history; his statue on Katsurahama Beach is arguably the Mecca for Ryoma fanatics.

Kochi Castle is one of the oldest castles in Japan still standing, while the beautiful Shimanto River is said to be “Japan’s last fresh stream.”

Two notable activities in Kochi include whale-watching and the famous Yosakoi Dance Festival every August. If you're on a long vacation (and want to get some exercise), try the Shikoku O-henro , a pilgrimage of 88 temples that runs through Kochi (16 of the temples are located within the prefecture) and covers all of Shikoku, spanning 1200 km long. And while you're in Kochi, be sure to try katsuo tataki, seasoned and lightly grilled bonito sashimi.

Kochi (Cochin)

Set on a magnificent estuary, serene Kochi has been drawing traders, explorers and travelers to its shores for over 600 years. Nowhere else in India could you find such an intriguing mix: giant Chinese fishing nets, a 450-year-old synagogue, ancient mosques, Portuguese and Dutch colonial-era houses, and the crumbling remains of the colonial British Raj. The result is an unlikely blend of medieval Portugal and Holland and an English village grafted onto the tropical Malabar Coast. It’s a delightful place to explore, laze in arty cafes and relax at some of India’s finest homestays and heritage hotels. It's also an important centre for Keralan arts (traditional and contemporary) and a standout place to see Kathakali and kalarippayat.

Kochi – kerala travel guide.

kochi tour and travels

Adorned by the enchanting charm of the Arabian Sea, Kochi or Cochin boasts of being one of the best tourist destinations in Kerala that is perfectly blended with an old world charm and the electrifying beauty of modern day world! Located within the Ernakulam district of God’s Own Country, this gorgeous city is also called the ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’ and has been a centre of attraction since time immemorial!

An important port city; in fact the most popular, in Kerala, Kochi showcases a mixed bag of culture. Once ruled by Portuguese, Dutch, and British, the city still echoes the essence and aura of these eras in livelier ways. Also, owing to its location along the shorelines of the Arabian Sea, it has been an important spice trade centre for countries like Syria, Arab, China, and several other Asian countries.

Rated as one of the ’50 Greatest Places to Visit in a Lifetime’ by National Geographic Traveller Magazine, Kochi is truly is a melting point of history and culture. Though the city boasts of its cosmopolitan outlooks, it is still connected to its indigenous roots with its high cultural and traditional values. If you are planning for a Kerala trip, a visit to this promising port city is a must!

How to Reach Kochi:

kochi tour and travels

KSRTC buses to Kochi are available at regular intervals. These buses connect Cochin with most of the major tourist destinations in Kerala. Visitors from Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and other popular cities can also reach Kochi easily through the roadways.

2 By Train:

Ernakulam Town Station and Ernakulam Junction Station are the two nearest railway stations to Kochi. Both the train stations have a good connectivity to other Indian cities and serves as the most convenient railway destinations to reach Kochi.

Cochin International Airport is the largest airport in Kerala. For the travellers who wish to reach Kochi by air, they can board a flight to this airport from almost all the major cities in India. The airport also has a good-connectivity with some of the major international tourist destinations as well.

Best Time to Visit Kochi:

1 Winter (October to February):

Kochi showcases an alluring ambience during the winters. With the mercury level going down, the city becomes livelier and offers great options to its visitors. Winters in Kochi proves to be an ideal time for the honeymooners, adventure junkies, leisure seekers, and other classes of travellers.

2 Summer (March to June):

Temperature in Kochi starts rising with the onset of the summers! However, owing to its location along the shorelines of the Arabian Sea, the city does not experience harsh summers. Though not a perfect time to visit this port city; summers can still be a good choice as tourism slows down a bit within and around the city during the summers.

3 Monsoon (July to September):

Visiting Kochi during the monsoons has its own charm and appeal! It is during this period of the year that the entire port city gets blanketed by Mother Nature’s green colour and showcases an entirely different facet of Kochi!

Places to Visit in Kochi:

1 Fort Kochi:

The once a hub of the spice traders from various corners of the globe, Fort Kochi is among the most spectacular place to visit in Cochin. Steeped with history or the livelier reminiscent of the past, a walk around this vicinity along with the prismatic views of the Chinese fishing nets is a must experience for the visitors.

2 Vasco House:

Kochi is the melting point of history and culture; the Vasco House on the Rose Street of this port city is one such livelier example! Believed to be the residence of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, it is among the oldest heritage houses in India.

3 Santa Cruz Basilica:

This pious site dates back to 1505, and was originally built by the Portuguese. Though it was later destroyed by the British colonists, it was later rebuilt in 1905.

4 Dutch Palace:

The Raja of Kochi received this historic palace as a gift from the Portuguese! Built in typical Portuguese and Malabar architecture, the palace showcases ancient murals and wall paintings, and is a true treasure trove for the visitors to Kochi.

5 Bolghatty Palace:

Situated in the Bolghatty Island, this historic palace was once a royal retreat. At present, it has been converted into a heritage hotel that can be accessed only by boats.

6 Hill Palace:

A 19th century palace, Hill Palace was once the royal seat of Raja of Kochi. It now serves as a museum that houses numerous belongings of the past; a visit to Hill Palace will get the visitors acquainted with the glorious history of Kochi.

7 Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary:

An indigenous home to a large number of avifauna, Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary is a major attraction among the nature lovers to Kochi. Located at the heart of the city, it is a wonderful day-out destination and a paradise for the bird watchers.

Things to do in Kochi:

1 Sightseeing:

Kochi is one of the most beautiful cities in Kerala. Decked with historical landmarks, alluring shorelines, religious spots, and much more, it definitely makes it for an ideal sightseeing destination in God’s Own Country.

2 Cultural Tours:

This charming port city is also a wonderful destination to witness and enjoy the colourful cultures and traditions in Kerala. Visitors to Kochi can revel in regular Kathakali dance performances along with several other shows while manoeuvring around the city.

3 Enjoy Backwater Homestay:

For those visitors who want to delve deep into the history and hospitality of Kochi, they must go for backwater homestays! Located on the outer fringes of the city limits; mostly in and around Alappuzha, these homestays are the doorways to Kerala’s rustic cultures and traditions.

4 Visit Chinese Fishing Nets:

Mostly located towards the northern side of Fort Kochi, the Chinese Fishing Nets have become synonymous to the enchanting beauty of Kochi’s shorelines. On a visit to this promising port-city, visitors must visit these traditional fishing nets to have a glimpse of Kerala’s golden past.

Hotels in Kochi:

Be it about the stay options or eateries, Kochi is jotted with numerous options. Starting from budget-friendly hotels to ultra-luxurious options, visitors can find all the options while on a Kerala trip to Kochi.

Relaxing kerala tour ( Cochin Munnar Alleppy Cochin) Tour

Relaxing kerala tour ( Cochin Munnar Alleppy Cochin)

The Relaxing Kerala tour from Cochin to Munnar, Alleppy, and back to Cochin. It was an amazing tour that provided me with the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The tour started in Cochin, which provided a great introduction to the culture and history of Kerala. We had the opportunity to see and explore the main attractions of the city, such as the Chinese Fishing Nets, Dutch Palace, St. Francis Church, and the Jewish Synagogue. We also had the chance to visit the local spice markets and take a sunset cruise in the harbor. The tour then continued to Munnar, where we got to enjoy some of the most breathtaking views of the Western Ghats. We took a jeep safari to the top of the hills, which provided us with some amazing views of the surrounding tea plantations. We also went on a guided trek through the hills, where we got to explore some of the local wildlife and vegetation. After Munnar, we headed to Alleppy, where we had the chance to take a houseboat cruise on the backwaters. This was an incredibly relaxing experience, as we were able to take in the beautiful scenery and spot many birds and other forms of wildlife. Overall, I could not have asked for a better experience. The tour provided me with the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable holiday experience. Thanks Mr.Krishna Sharma for giving me best service in India.

We had a fabulous tour of Kerala. Just the two of us and our driver Noufel. He was amazing. Showed us everywhere. Drove us safely and pointed out all places of interest. Noufel is a credit to the company. I would recommend using GetsHolidays, my whole tour was organised professionally and there was a representative and a driver to meet us at all other stages of our tour. Yes I was a little concerned when I first booked as it’s a step into the unknown , but GetsHolidays are so well organised that everything went so smoothly. Would use them again and definitely tell all my friends to.

Trip to God\'s Own Country Tour

Trip to God's Own Country

The tour was a brilliant adventure. The hotels were excellent with good facilities with a range of activities, particularly for health conscious travellers in this part of the world. The driver was excellent, responsible and knowledgeable. The guides overall were very good, friendly and knowledgeable in their area of history and culture. The traveller should carry out their own research before committing to the daily activities provided by the tour as you may need to make choices about what activities you want to do. The 'every day' entrance fee expenditure, which were relatively small amounts, had not been explained to me up front or indeed listed anyway on the itinerary, even as approximate amounts, this would have been appreciated. I would question the facilities and cleanliness of the floating hotel boat, the limited crew members on board had to operate the boat and look after the guests including cooking / cleaning and so on. The crew also used the boat facilities for their own living quarters. However, for one day and night it was an experience not to be missed, the food was exceedingly good.

Kerala the most southwestern state in India is amazing. Arabian Sea beaches and backwaters to beautiful mountainous inland regions. Dijeesh our driver was excellent, always ready to adapt to our wishes. Instead of the boat trip in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary I would recommend one of the nature walks. Enjoy the houseboat ride, a highlight of the Kerala tour.

The best of Kerala in 9 days with idyllic houseboat and relax

That was a very exciting and fascinating Private Tour with a great driver arranged by a splendid Travel agency. We had comfortable hotels and on the top of that a terrific eco houseboat with all the facilities and meals that made our cruise on backwaters a really wonderful experience. Love all the birds and local villages you can spot and observe during this wonderful private cruise. Munnar is a different planet with all those tea plantations and green areas everywhere. Kochi has its own ambience and it's really worth taking a stroll in search of interesting murals. Kathakali show is a bit long but all in all worth watching since the performance has its own quality. Sunil - our perfect driver did his best and was really careful while driving on the winding roads of Kerala. Everything we asked for was provided and organised properly are extremally happy.

I had a great time in Kerala. I loved the scenery, the culture, and most of all, the people. Our driver, Mr. Sibu, was terrific. I'd love to come back to Kerala and have him as my driver again. The guides in Kochi and Munnar were also great—they were knowledgeable and flexible. We weren't too happy with the initial boat we were given for our Backwater tour, but the company quickly changed us to another boat, which was great. The hotels were all good and the staff were very helpful. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

Reviews of Kerala Tours from Kochi (Cochin)

This was my second time with Bout Tour India, and as the first experience, this one was also very good. They were precise in the organization and every service in the program. I truly recommend it.
The pleasure of taking a relaxing Kerala tour, visiting the beautiful cities of Cochin, Munnar, Alleppey and returning to Cochin. It was a truly rejuvenating experience that left me feeling refreshed and renewed. The tour began in Cochin, a bustling city with a rich cultural heritage. I was amazed by the beautiful blend of old and new, as I explored the city's iconic landmarks such as the Chinese fishing nets, St. Francis Church and the Mattancherry Palace. The streets were filled with vibrant colors, delicious aromas and friendly locals, making it a perfect introduction to Kerala. Next on the itinerary was Munnar, a picturesque hill station nestled in the Western Ghats. The scenic drive to Munnar was a treat in itself, with lush greenery, serene waterfalls and misty mountains. I stayed at a beautiful resort surrounded by tea plantations, which was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cool climate and tranquil atmosphere of Munnar were perfect for unwinding and taking in the breathtaking views. One of the highlights of the tour was the houseboat ride in Alleppey. Cruising along the backwaters, surrounded by coconut trees and traditional villages, was a truly enchanting experience. I also got to taste some delicious local cuisine cooked on board by the friendly staff. It was the perfect way to relax and soak in the beauty of Kerala. The tour ended back in Cochin, where I spent my last day exploring the city's markets and indulging in some shopping. I also had the opportunity to witness a traditional Kathakali dance performance, which was a mesmerizing experience. Overall, my relaxing Kerala tour was a perfect blend of culture, nature, and rejuvenation. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the people were warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating holiday. I cannot wait to go back and explore more of this beautiful state.

"Queen of Arabian Sea"

Kochi tourism.

Lying on the Malabar coast in the southwest of India, Kochi or Cochin is a port city with a trading history that dates back to at least 600 years. Known popularly as the Queen of the Arabian Sea, the city is also Kerala's financial, commercial, and industrial capital. Exuding an old-world charm with diverse linguistics, such as the Jews, Konkinis, Gujaratis, and ethnic communities like the anglo-indians, Kochi has an indiscriminate mix of backwaters, beaches, islands, coasts, and plain terrains.

With a history of trading in the southwest, Kochi still holds on to its dutch and Portuguese buildings, such as the Old Harbour House, Mattancherry Palace , Bolgatty Palace , Jewish Synagogue , etc., some of which have gone through renovations over the years. The cosmopolitan town has upmarket stores, art galleries, heritage homes, and some of the finest museums, such as the Hill Palace and Kerala Folklore Museum. In a true vintage-meets-future fashion, restaurants and shopping hubs crowd Ernakulam , Jew Town , and Fort Kochi , along with palaces, beaches, temples, and heritage sites. Besides sightseeing, Kochi is a sought-after tourist destination for its Ayurvedic Massages and a must-visit place to witness performances such as the Kalarippayattu, an aesthetic martial art form, and Kathakali , the dance drama form of Kerala. Kochi organizes a biennial international contemporary art exhibition called the Kochi Muziris Biennale for all art enthusiasts. Cochin is also home to a group of lagoons and islands interconnected by ferries. In fact, Willingdon Island in Kochi is one of the largest human-made islands in India. Officially home to the southern command of the Indian Navy, Kochi has an active naval base and an air squadron of the Indian Navy.

Spreading across islands between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters, Kochi (long known as Cochin) is Kerala’ s prime tourist destination. Its main sections – modern Ernakulam and the peninsular districts of Mattancherry and Fort Cochin to the west – are linked by bridges and a complex system of ferries. Although some visitors opt to stay in the more convenient Ernakulam, the overwhelming majority base themselves in Fort Cochin, where the city’s complex history is reflected in an assortment of architectural styles. Spice markets, Chinese fishing nets, a synagogue, a Portuguese palace and India ’s first European church are all close by.

Old Kochi, the thumb-shaped peninsula whose northern tip presides over the entrance to the city’s harbour, formed the focus of European trading activities from the sixteenth century onwards.

With high-rise development restricted to Ernakulam across the water, its twin districts of Fort Cochin, in the west, and Mattancherry, on the headland’s eastern side, have preserved an extraordinary wealth of early colonial architecture, spanning the Portuguese, Dutch and British eras – a crop unparalleled in India.

As you approach by ferry, the waterfront, with its sloping red-tiled roofs and ranks of peeling, pastel coloured godowns (warehouses), offers a view that can have changed little in centuries. Closer up, however, Old Kochi’s historic patina has started to show some ugly cracks.

The spice trade that fuelled the town’s original rise is still very much in evidence. But over the past twenty years an extraordinary rise in visitor numbers has had a major impact.

Thousands of tourists pour through daily in winter, and with no planning or preservation authority to take control, the resulting rash of new building threatens to destroy the very atmosphere people come here to experience.

From the old quarter at Fort Cochin to the old district of red-tiled riverfront wharves at Mattancherry, here are the best things to do in Kochi.

#1 Explore the evocative, European-era Fort Cochin

Fort Cochin, the grid of old streets at the northwest tip of the peninsula, is where the Portuguese erected their first walled citadel, Fort Immanuel, which the Dutch East India Company later consolidated with a circle of well-fortified ramparts.

Only a few fragments of the former battlements remain (the outline of the old walls is traced by the district’s giant rain trees, some of which are more than two centuries old), but dozens of other evocative European-era monuments survive.

A good way to get to grips with Fort Cochin’s many-layered history is to pick up the free walking-tour maps produced by Kerala Tourism. They lead you around some of the district’s more significant landmarks, including the early eighteenth-century Dutch Cemetery, Vasco da Gama’s supposed house and several traders’ residences.

#2 See the famous Chinese fishing nets

Probably the single most familiar photographic image of Kerala, the huge, elegant Chinese fishing nets lining the northern shore of Fort Cochin add grace to the waterfront view.

Traders from the court of Kublai Khan are said to have introduced them to the Malabar region. Known in Malayalam as cheena vala, they can also be seen throughout the backwaters further south.

The nets, which are suspended from poles and operated by levers and weights, require at least four men to control them. If you linger, the fishermen will beckon you over to help (for a small tip).

Rough Guides Tip: make sure to read all about the best beaches in Kerala

#3 Visit the Church of St Francis, the first church built by Europeans in India

South of the Chinese fishing nets on Church Road (the continuation of River Road) is the large, typically English Parade Ground. Overlooking it, the Church of St Francis was the first built by Europeans in India.

Its exact age is not known, though the stone structure is thought to date back to the early sixteenth century. The facade, meanwhile, became the model for most Christian churches in India.

Vasco da Gama was buried here in 1524, but his body was later removed to Portugal. Under the Dutch, the church was renovated and became Protestant in 1663, then Anglican with the advent of the British in 1795.

Inside, the earliest of various tombstone inscriptions placed on the walls dates from 1562.

#4 Go antique shopping in Mattancherry

Mattancherry, the old district of red-tiled riverfront wharves and houses occupying the northeastern tip of the headland, was once the colonial capital’s main market area – the epicentre of the Malabar’s spice trade, and home to its wealthiest Jewish and Jain merchants.

Like Fort Cochin, its once grand buildings have lapsed into advanced states of disrepair, with most of their original owners working overseas.

When Mattancherry’s Jews emigrated en masse to Israel in the 1940s, their furniture and other un-portable heirlooms ended up in the antique shops for which the area is now renowned – though these days genuine pieces are few and far between.

#5 See inside the captivating Mattancherry Palace

The sight at the top of most itineraries is Mattancherry Palace, on the roadside a short walk from the Mattancherry Jetty, 1km or so southeast of Fort Cochin.

Known locally as the Dutch Palace, the two-storey building was actually erected by the Portuguese, as a gift to the raja of Cochin, Vira Keralavarma (1537–61) – though the Dutch did add to the complex.

While its squat exterior is not particularly striking, the interior is captivating, with some of the finest examples of Kerala’s underrated school of mural painting, along with Dutch maps of old Cochin, coronation robes belonging to past maharajas, royal palanquins, weapons and furniture.

#6 Go inside the Paradesi Synagogue

The neighbourhood immediately behind and to the south of Mattancherry Palace is known as Jew Town, home of a vestigial Jewish community whose place of worship is the Paradesi (White Jew) Synagogue.

Founded in 1568 and rebuilt in 1664, the building is best known for its interior, an incongruous hotchpotch paved with hand-painted eighteenth-century blue-and-white tiles from Canton.

An elaborately carved Ark houses four scrolls of the Torah, on which sit gold crowns presented by the maharajas of Travancore and Cochin, testifying to good relations with the Jewish community.

The synagogue’s oldest artefact is a fourth-century copperplate inscription from the raja of Cochin.

#7 Catch a Kathakali show in Kochi

Kochi is the only city in Kerala where you are guaranteed the chance to see live kathakali, the state’s unique form of ritualised theatre.

Whether in its authentic setting, in temple festivals held in winter, or at the shorter tourist-oriented shows that take place year round, these mesmerising dance dramas – depicting the struggles of gods and demons – are an unmissable feature of Kochi’s cultural life.

Among the most magical experiences a visitor to Kerala can have is to witness one of the innumerable ancient drama rituals that play such an important role in the cultural life of the region.

Kathakali is the best known; other less publicised forms, which clearly influenced its development, include the classical Sanskrit kudiyattam. Many Keralan forms share broad characteristics.

A prime aim of each performer is to transform the mundane into the world of gods and demons; his preparation is highly ritualised, involving otherworldly costume and mask-like make-up.

#8 Kerala Folklore Museum

Ernakulam’s one outstanding visitor attraction is the Kerala Folklore Museum , on the distant southeast fringes of the city. The collection of antiques is housed in a multi-storey laterite building. The building is encrusted with traditional wood- and tile-work.

The collection includes dance-drama masks and costumes, ritual paraphernalia, musical instruments, pieces of temple architecture, 3000-year-old burial urns, cooking utensils, portraits, and ancestral photographs. All of these categories were amassed by George Thaliyath, the founder and an avid antiques collector.

Its crowning glory is an exquisitely decorated theatre on the top floor, decorated with swirling Keralan temple murals and dark wooden pillars. It’s only open for exclusive, prearranged kathakali performances.

#9 Take a backwater trip around Kochi

Coir-production, rope-making, toddy-tapping, fishing and crab-farming are the main sources of income in the backwater villages south of Kochi. Easily reachable via the national highway, they’re scattered over an expanse of huge lagoons and canals, flowing west behind a near-continuous beach.

You can dip into the region for a day on one of the popular trips run out of Fort Cochin by KTDC , or with a community-based tourism initiative based at Kumbalanghi village – an award-winning project where proceeds are shared among the locals.

The trip is most easily done by auto-rickshaw; if travelling by bus, head for Perumamapadappu, aka “Perumbadapu” on Google maps, and catch an auto from there for the remaining couple of kilometres.

#10 Check out Thripunitra

Some 12km southeast of Ernakulam and a short bus or auto-rickshaw ride from the bus stand just south of Jos Junction on MG Road, the small suburban town of Thripunitra is worth a visit for its dilapidated colonial-style Hill Palace, now an eclectic museum, as well as its fabulous temple festival, held in October or November.

#11 Chill out at Cherai Beach

The closest beach to Kochi worth the effort of getting to is Cherai, 25km north on Vypeen Island. A 3km strip of golden sand and thumping surf, it’s sandwiched on a narrow strip of land between the sea and a very pretty backwater area of glassy lagoons.

Chunky granite sea defences prevent the waves from engulfing the ribbon of fishing villages that subsist along this strip. Nowhere, however, is the sand more than a few metres wide at high tide, and the undertow can get quite strong.

Even so, Cherai is gaining in popularity each year, and a row of small resorts and guesthouses has sprung up to accommodate the trickle of mainly foreign travellers who find their way up here from Fort Cochin.

Cherai-beach-Kochi-shutterstock_1060505756

The vast majority of travellers will stay at Fort Cochin, however, Ernakulam is a well-connected alternative should you need to arrive late at night.

Fort Cochin

Most foreign visitors opt to stay in Fort Cochin , with its uncongested backstreets and charming colonial-era architecture. There are, however, drawbacks: room rates are grossly inflated (especially over Christmas and New Year), with few options at the budget end of the scale.

Ernakulam may suffer a dearth of historic ambience, but it’s far more convenient for travel connections and offers lots of choices and better value in all categories. Wherever you choose to stay, book well in advance .

Browse the best hotels in Kochi.

Foreign tourists tend to congregate at the pavement joints along Tower Rd near the Chinese fishing nets, drinking warm beer disguised in teapots. Your rupees will stretch further in Ernakulam, where you’ll find some of the best traditional food in all south India.

Fort Kochi is a popular area with a vibrant food scene. You'll find a variety of restaurants and cafes serving both local Kerala cuisine and international dishes. The area is known for its seafood specialties and charming streets lined with dining establishments.

Located in the heart of Kochi, MG Road is a bustling commercial area with numerous restaurants, cafes, and bars. It offers a diverse range of culinary options, including Indian, Chinese, Continental, and fast food.

Marine Drive

Marine Drive is a waterfront promenade that offers a range of restaurants and cafes. With its scenic views of the backwaters, it's a popular spot to unwind and enjoy a meal or a drink.

Broadway is a bustling market area in Kochi known for its street food stalls and local eateries. From traditional dosas and idlis to local sweets, it's a great place to sample authentic Kerala snacks.

From catching a ferry to cycling around the city, it is easy to navigate Kochi. Here’s how to do it.

Kochi’s dilapidated ferries provide a cheap and relaxing way to reach the various parts of the city. The most popular route for visitors is the one connecting Ernakulam’s Main Boat Jetty and Fort Cochin/Mattancherry’s Customs Jetty.

KSRTC is in the process of upgrading its ageing fleet with new, state-of-the-art, low-floored Volvo buses, coloured bright green or orange. The new vehicles – used on prime routes such as the run between Fort Cochin and the airport – are cleaner and more comfortable. But there remain plenty of the old rust buckets in circulation and they’re invariably crammed to bursting point. Frequent services run throughout the day between Ernakulam and Fort Cochin, though the ferry is a lot more enjoyable.

Bicycles can be rented from many hotels and guesthouses in Fort Cochin.

The best time to visit Kochi is during the winter months of December to February. This period offers the most comfortable weather conditions with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 32°C (73°F to 90°F).

Visiting in December? Make sure to read our article about visiting Kerala in December

The winter season in Kochi is characterized by pleasant temperatures, lower humidity, and relatively dry weather, making it ideal for exploring the city and its attractions.

During this time, you can enjoy visiting popular landmarks such as Fort Kochi, the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets, Mattancherry Palace, and St. Francis Church. The weather is conducive to exploring the vibrant streets, experiencing the local culture, and indulging in the diverse culinary scene that Kochi has to offer.

It's important to note that Kochi experiences a tropical climate throughout the year, with high humidity and occasional rainfall. The monsoon season, which occurs from June to September, brings heavy rains to the region. While the monsoon can create a lush and green atmosphere, it may limit outdoor activities and sightseeing opportunities due to the rainfall.

Aim to spend at least two to three days in Kochi. Allocate the first day to exploring the historic district of Fort Kochi, wander through the atmospheric lanes and admiring the gorgeous coastline.

Additionally, explore the Mattancherry neighborhood, where you can visit the intriguing Mattancherry Palace, also known as the Dutch Palace, showcasing beautiful murals and artifacts depicting the history of the region.

On the second day, you can delve further into Kochi's history and culture. Take a ferry ride to visit the Bolgatty Palace, a former Dutch mansion now converted into a heritage hotel, offering glimpses of the colonial era.

Explore the area around the Jewish Synagogue, which comes to life with spice markets and antique shops. In the evening, indulge in some fresh seafood.

If you have an additional day, consider exploring the nearby backwaters of Kochi. Take a day trip to the scenic village of Alleppey (Alappuzha) and embark on a mesmerizing houseboat cruise through the backwaters.

This experience allows you to witness the tranquil beauty of Kerala's interconnected canals, paddy fields, and coconut groves.

Kochi’s international airport, one of India’s most modern and efficient – is at Nedumbassery, near Alwaye (aka Alua), 29 km north of Ernakulam.

Modern, comfortable a/c airbuses also cover the route more or less hourly, running to Fort Cochin.

There are two main railway stations: Ernakulam Junction, near the centre; and Ernakulam Town, 2 km further north. The Cochin Harbour Terminus, on Willingdon Island, serves the island’s luxury hotels.

Ernakulam Town lies on Kerala’s main broad-gauge line and sees frequent services to and from Thiruvananthapuram via Kottayam , Kollam and Varkala. In the opposite direction, trains connect Ernakulam and Thrissur, and Chennai across the Ghats in Tamil Nadu .

The KSRTC Central bus stand, beside the railway line east of MG Rd and north of Ernakulam Junction, is for state-run long-distance services.

There are also two stands for pricier private services: The Fort Cochin bus terminus serves tourist buses, local services to Ernakulam and the airport bus.
