About Kochi
Queen of the Arabian Sea
Kochi is Kerala's most cosmopolitan city — a former spice trading port where Jewish synagogues, Portuguese churches, Dutch palaces, and Hindu temples exist within walking distance of each other. Fort Kochi is one of the most atmospheric heritage districts in India. It is the best-connected international gateway into Kerala and the natural starting point for most Kerala spiritual itineraries.
A living example of multi-faith coexistence across centuries of trade and cultural exchange. The Chinese fishing nets, the Paradesi Synagogue, and the Santa Cruz Cathedral sit alongside ancient Hindu temples — a unique confluence found nowhere else in India.
