Why Visit Kochi?

Kochi blends tropical scenery with centuries of trading-port heritage, making it an ideal springboard to wider Kerala experiences, backwaters, spice routes, colonial-era streets, and contemporary arts.

What are the Highlights of Kochi?

Historic port heritage: Fort Kochi and Mattancherry with colonial-era landmarks, St. Francis Church, Santa Cruz Basilica, Paradesi Synagogue, and the Dutch (Mattancherry) Palace.
Iconic waterfront: Sunset views of the Chinese fishing nets, promenade cafés, and easy ferry hops to Vypin/Willingdon for Cherai Beach.
Arts & culture: The Kochi-Muziris Biennale (biennial contemporary art festival), Kathakali and Kalaripayattu performances, plus galleries and studios.
Spice & backwaters: Centuries-old spice markets and coastal cuisine, backwater cruises, and tea-country getaways to Munnar.
