About Cochin
Kochi, also known as Cochin, is a beautiful coastal city on the southwest shore of Kerala. Once a major port developed by the British for trade, Kochi is now one of the best places to explore the culture, food and history of the state. Many travellers begin their Kerala journey here because the city gives a perfect first glimpse of what the state has to offer. For those planning a trip, many Kochi tour packages start right from this vibrant city.
Cochin has been ranked among the top tourist destinations by the World Travel & Tourism Council, thanks to its mix of heritage sites, seaside charm and nearby hill stations like Munnar. The backwaters that Kerala is famous for can also be experienced here through quiet lagoons and waterways that run across the city.
Many of these water routes have become peaceful picnic and boating spots where visitors can enjoy fishing, kayaking or simply relaxing in nature. Fort Kochi, one of the city’s most iconic areas, offers colonial-era architecture, quiet lanes, a breezy beachfront and cosy cafés, making it a favourite among backpackers and photographers. Kochi is also known for its old churches, temples and forts, each telling a story from a different time in history.
Surrounded by the Western Ghats on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other, Kochi enjoys a pleasant tropical climate throughout the year. With so many unique experiences in one city, it’s easy to see why Kochi often becomes a natural first stop for travellers exploring the state through well-planned Kerala tour packages.

Very good tour. Good communication before and throughout. Accomodation was very good and the driver was friendly and accommodating. Activities are not included in the price so take this into account but it means you can choose what you want to do as you go along. Would recommend.
