You may have to wake up some hotel guys, one of them may even turn you away. Thinking that we are trying to scare you away? Yes ... you are right, but the chances are that if you have stayed with us through all this ... now that we start talking Cochin, you'll hardly move. That's the magic of the city.

Cochin is the financial centre of Kerala, the city where it's difficult to separate the old civilization from the modern lifestyle, so intertwined are these two here. In the western India, Cochin is second to only Mumbai in terms of commercial activity. The city has had cultural and trade relations with the outside world all through the early years. Also known as Gateway to Kerala, the foreigners have left a strong imprint on the development of this city ... but that is not what we are asking you to come here for. That Cochin is ensconced between Western Ghats and Arabian Sea definitely helps ... and the fact that its climate is pleasant throughout the year (because of its proximity to the equator and the sea at the same time) makes it all the more tempting. Even if you want to explore entire Kerala, Cochin is ideal launch pad for such a visit.

Tours to Cochin - Cochin is a city that moves at a fair clip and is among the most modern cities of India. Once an unimportant fishing village, the place became the first European township in India. It now boasts of several reasons making it a vacation option that you'd like to die for ... well ... not literally. Instead visit Fort Kochi, only 12 km away from Ernakulam, an alluring small heritage town that seems tailor made for travelers. Take a stroll through the place as that is the best way to know the area. See the Chinese fishing nets brought by the traders from the court of Kublai Khan that are huge by any standards. Feel the history of the place by going to Mattancherry Palace that was built by the Portuguese and later renovated by the Dutch. You'd love the mural paintings detailing scenes from ancient Hindu legends such as Ramayana and Mahabharata. Continue with the historical part of the city as you visit the Jewish Synagogue, the oldest and grandest in the Commonwealth and Hill Palace Museum, Thripunithura that was the residence of the royal family of the city. Don't stop now as you are yet to see the St Francis Church and the local spice market that has made this place famous for years.
