Luxury Holidays in Cochin

Vibrant harbour city in Kerala

The gateway to Kerala, Cochin is a busy cosmopolitan city formed beside a cluster of islands on the vast Vembanand Lake. A natural harbour to the Arabian Sea, Cochin is a vibrant blend of modern India and the old colonial past.

Cochin’s signature landmark is a row of arching Chinese fishing nets, poised by Fort Cochi above the the harbour; ready to dip in and secure a fresh catch to be served up at the nearby food stalls. Try a delicious fish molly, curry or peera.

Beaches line the area’s islands, some of which remain uninhabited. Head for the golden sands of Cherai Beach, or explore the city’s many museums and temples – abundant architectural wonders representing the region’s many faiths.
