Day 1:
Arrive at Cochin International Airport.Kochi (colonial name
Cochin) is a vibrant city situated on the south-west coast of
the Indian peninsula in the breathtakingly scenic and
prosperous state of Kerala, hai led as 'God's Own
Country'. Its strategic importance over the centuries is underlined by the
sobriquet Queen of the Arabian Sea. Informally, Cochin is also referred to as
the Gateway to Kerala. From time immemorial, the Arabs, British, Chinese,
Dutch, and Portuguese have left indelible marks on the history and
development of Cochin. Over the years, Cochin has emerged as the
commercial and industrial capital of Kerala and is perhaps the second most
important city on the west coast of India (after Mumbai/Bombay). Cochin is
proud of its world class port and international airport that link it to many major
cities worldwide.This lovely seaside city is flanked by the Western Ghats on
the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. Its proximity to the equator, the
sea and the mountains provide a rich experience of a moderate equatorial
climate. Strictly speaking, Cochin is a small town. But, Cochin has outgrown
its original bounds and is now the general name given to much of the region
adjoining the original town, which now includes Cochin, Fort Kochi,
Mattanchery, Ernakulam and many other nearby towns and villages. Cochin
is situated in Ernakulam district in the state of Kerala. Ernakulam is also the
name of a town - the administrative capital of Ernakulam district - but, for all
practical purposes Ernakulam and Cochin, generally, refer to the same place.
Kochi is the arguably the ideal starting point for exploring the unfathomable
diversity and beauty of Kerala, rated in the top three tourist destinations by
the World Travel & Tourism Council and featured in National Geographic
Traveler's '50 greatest places of a lifetime'.our representative will receive and
