As London-based India visa consultants, we have had the opportunity for many years to receive feedback from our Indian visa applicants on the most beautiful cities in India. Often these can be biased to the opinion and personal experiences that people have, especially because India is such a big country, but we have come to the conclusion that it is Cochin.

Cochin is a city in the state of Kerala, and offers many different advantages for clients visiting with their Indian visas from all over the world. The reasons for Cochin being selected as the most beautiful city in India is because it has areas where contrasts make photographers and residents dream. Once you visit the old part and the Chinese fishing villages, you can venture into the old port area where ships, yachts and ships set sail. This can make your journey and the exhausting process of obtaining your Indian visa worthwhile, as you can watch the sunset at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

Other attractions in Cochin include the Church of San Francisco and the old Jewish cemetery that demonstrate the opening of multiple religions in this city, and how different religions, languages, and origins have amalgamated into one fine-tuned city.

If you are a Cochin resident, and not just a visitor on India visa application , you can also understand the beauty of the city as it becomes a valuable technology capital in South India, and NASSCOM ranks it as the second most desirable city in India to carry out IT service work. This has been made possible by low operating costs compared to the rest of India, coupled with good bandwidth and good infrastructure. Flying to Cochin is made very easy with direct and indirect flights from the UK.

A close second on our list of the most beautiful city in India was Chandigarth, based in the northern state of Punjab, and you can enter with a standard Indian tourist visa. The city is the capital not only of Punjab, but also of the neighboring state of Haryana. One of the reasons for its beauty may be that the city was planned and designed by the world-famous architect Le Corbusier, who was French. In addition to its efficient structure, the city has many buildings that have beautifully finished exteriors. Not to be missed on your visit to Chandigarh are also the famous Zakir Rose Garden, which features 2,500 different types of roses, the famous Shri Nek Chand Rock Garden and Lake Sukhna.
