| KOCHI |
 |
Kochi. The name itself conjures up images of the Chinese fishing nets, the spices, ayurveda and the ships sailing out into the ocean. The ever vibrant, ever developing and the ever booming city. It appears to be growing daily. Distinctly different from other parts of Kerala, Kochi is everybody’s delight. It is an ideal blend of tradition with the modern. The city of Ernakulam wears the new age look with some sky scrappers scattered here and there. And the old rustic charm of colonial days makes the island of Fort Kochi a study of contrasts. The only common factor between both the cities are the red painted city buses, the yellow hooded autorickshaws, friendly people and of course the mosquitoes. Be sure to pack a lot of mosquito repellents when you come to Kochi. The queen of the Arabian sea is also a paradise to mosquitoes. From time immemorial, Kochi has played host to guests from far off lands. The Arabs, the Chinese, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the French, the British, all came here for trade. Though for different reasons, follow their footsteps for a peek into a slice of God’s Own Country! Read More
