1 About Kochi: Kochi, formerly known as Cochin, is a vibrant city situated on the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula in the breathtakingly scenic and prosperous state of Kerala, hailed as God s Own Country. Kochi or Cochin is popularly known as the Queen of Arabian Sea, also flaunts one of the finest natural harbours of the world and was the centre of the world spice trade for many centuries. Old Kochi loosely refers to a group of islands which comprise Willingdon Island, Fort Kochi, Mattancherry, etc. It is one of the principal tourist destinations of Kerala. Backwaters of Kochi are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast of Kerala. 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. The city derives its name from the Malayalam word Kochazhi meaning small lagoon. 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.

It is built facing the backwaters and is a popular hangout for the local populace. Marine Drive is also an economically thriving part of the city of Kochi. With several shopping malls it is as an important centre of shopping activity in Kochi. The walkway has two contemporarily constructed bridges, the Rainbow bridge and the Chinese Fishing Net Bridge.The view of the setting and rising sun over the sea mouth, and the gentle breeze from the Vembanad Lake has made Marine Drive an important tourist destination in Kochi. Fort Kochi situated on the Fort Kochi/Mattancherry peninsula, is the historical part of the city and home to many tourist attractions, such as the cantilevered Chinese fishing nets, the Mattancherry Palace and the Santa Cruz Basilica. Mattancherry Palace, also known as the Dutch Palace, in Mattancherry, Kochi, features Kerala murals depicting Hindu temple art, portraits and exhibits of the Rajas of Kochi. Mattancherry Palace with its medieval charm is situated at Palace Road, Mattancherry, Kochi. It was built by the Portuguese and presented to Veera Kerala Varma ( ), Raja of Kochi, in 1555 AD.The palace is a quadrangular structure built in Nâlukettu style, the traditional Kerala style of architecture, with a courtyard in the middle. In the courtyard there stands a small temple dedicated to Pazhayannur Bhagavati, the protective goddess of the Kochi royal family. There are two more temples on either side of the Palace, one dedicated to Lord Krishna and the other to Lord Siva. Certain elements of architecture, as for example the nature of its arches and the proportion of its chambers are indicative of European influence in basic Nâluketttu style. Jewish Synagogue is the oldest synagogue in the Commonwealth of Nations. It was built in 1568 by the Cochin Jewish community in the Kingdom of Cochin. The synagogue is located in the quarter of Old Cochin known as Jew Town, and is the only one of the seven synagogues in the area still in use. It is magnificently decorated by Chinese tiles and Belgian chandeliers. Giant scrolls of the Old Testament can be found here. The complex has four buildings. It was built adjacent to the Mattancherry Palace temple on the land gifted to the Jewish community by the Raja of Kochi, RamaVarma. The Mattancherry Palace temple and the Mattancherry synagogue share a common wall. Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, a church built originally by the Portuguese and elevated to a Cathedral by Pope Paul IV in 1558, was spared by the Dutch conquerors who destroyed many
3 Catholic buildings. Later the British demolished the structure and Bishop Dom Gomez Vereira commissioned a new building in Consecrated in 1905, Santa Cruz was proclaimed a Basilica by the Pope John Paul II in This magnificent church is a must,see destination for tourists who come to Kochi. St. Francis Church - It is the oldest church built by Europeans in India. On his 3rd visit to Kerala, Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese trader who reached India from Europe by sea, fell ill and died in Kochi. He was buried in the St. Francis Church. Later his remains were taken back to Portugal. In spite of that, his burial spot inside the church has been clearly marked out. Bolgatty Palace, built by the Dutch in India, it is located in the scenic island popularly known as Bolgatty island in Kochi. One of the oldest existing Dutch palaces outside Holland, this quaint mansion, built in 1744, by Dutch traders, was later extended and lush green gardens were landscaped around it. The building was then the Governor s palace for the Dutch and later in 1909 was leased to the British. It served as the home of the British Governors, the seat of the British Resident of Cochin during the British regime. In 1947, when India gained independence, the palace became the property of the state and later converted into a heritage hotel resort. Hill Palace is the largest archaeological museum in Kerala, near Tripunithura. It was the administrative office of Kochi Rajas. Built in 1865, the Palace complex consists of 49 buildings in the traditional architectural style, spreading across in 54 acres (220,000 m2). The complex has an archaeological Museum, a Heritage Museum, a Deer Park, a prehistoric park and a children s park.

Kodanad Elephant Training Camp Kodanad is a rural riverside village situated on the south bank of Periyar river, about 42 kilometers east of Kochi. Earlier Kodanad used to be the largest of several elephant training centres for captured Elephants. In 1970s, there was a ban to elephant capture by Government of India and from then on, Kodanad is primarily used as a rescue training centre.

Athirappally Waterfalls - Athirapally is the land of rivers and forests and great waterfalls! The destination houses the largest waterfall in Kerala. This patch in Sholayar ranges so beautifully intertwined with lush green forest cover and sizzling silver cascades and located central to Cochin and River Nila (Bharathapuzha),is a treat for the eyes during the monsoon.

4 Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast. It has a unique ecosystem - freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea. These serene waterways are fringed by palm grove and paddy fields and offer a striking spectacle of rustic life. The kettuvallams (Kerala houseboats) in the backwaters are one of the prominent tourist attractions in Kerala. Alleppey, which is 60 kms from Cochin is one of the most popular areas where you can cruise the backwaters. Nearby Places to Visit: MUNNAR - About 140 kms on NH49, Munnar is a hill resort ideal for a relaxing holiday away from the tropical lowlands. The tea gardens and cardamom plantations give Munnar a beautiful look. Anai Mudi, the highest peak in South India is in these hills. The Munnar - Kodaikanal (another hill resort) road is believed to be the steepest road in South-East Asia. THATTEKAD BIRD SANCTUARY - Located 60 kms east of Cochin near Kothamangalam. Thattekad is placed on the northern bank of river Periyar is a tropical evergreen forest in the foothills of the Wester Ghats.

PERIYAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY, THEKKADY Elephants, bisons,antelopes, samburs, monkeys and bears can be found in their natural habitat in this world famous wild life sanctuary, situated 190 kms east of Cochin. A boat ride through the man-made lake in the heart of the sanctuary provides a unique opportunity to observe these animals in their natural surroundings. LAKSHADWEEP - Meaning thousand islands, a haven of unspoiled natural beauty, Lakshadweep lies kms off the coast of Kochi. Lakshadweep is an archipelago consisting of 12 atolls, 3 reefs and 5 submerged banks. Only 10 islands are inhabited while 17 are uninhabited islands with a total geographical area of 32 sq. kms.

Miles and miles of sandy beaches, coral reefs and coconut groves will leave anyone mesmerised. Things to do in Kochi: Shopping: There are many things that one can buy from Kochi, the list would probably be topped by handicraft, spices and nuts. Handicrafts include a wide range of products made from coir, wood, shells, brass, ivory and sandalwood. Small amounts of spices and other small items can be picked up from Broadway, which ironically has the narrowest streets and largest crowd in Cochin. The entire stretch of MG Road is lined with shops selling a variety of things from clothes, handicrafts and jewellery. Visit the historical sites in Mattancherry/Fort Kochi - Jew Town, Jewish synagogue, St. Francis church, Santa Cruz Basilica, Vasco House, Dutch Palace, Fort Kochi beach, Chinese fishing nets and watch the sunset.

Take a course of relaxing Ayurvedic massage at one of the leading Ayurvedic hospitals or your hotel. Take a brief boat-ride along the scenic backwaters of Cochin. For extended period, hire a kettuvallom (houseboat) and spend a few nights on board slowly travelling up the tranquil backwaters and having freshly cooked meals prepared with freshly caught fish. Visit some of the temples, churches, or mosques that form an indelible part of many Kochiites life.
