Kochi (Cochin)

Kochi, Kerala’s coastal jewel, is a seamless fusion of heritage and modernity. The Chinese Fishing Nets swaying along the waterfront, the charm of Fort Kochi, and the architectural splendour of the Dutch Palace reflect centuries of trade and culture. The city also embraces contemporary art, with the Kochi-Muziris Biennale transforming its old streets into creative galleries. Kochi’s cosmopolitan rhythm is best experienced in its harbour-view cafés, boutique resorts, and colonial-era churches — a blend of the old and new that defines Kerala’s spirit of harmony.
