Set on a magnificent estuary, serene Kochi has been drawing traders, explorers and travelers to its shores for over 600 years. It is a intriguing mix of 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 which is nowhere else in India. 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.
With many places to explore..... from the historical towns of Fort Kochi to the arty cafes and a variety of dishes to stick your spoon on ....Kochi has a lot to explore in both places and food.
