Kochi (Cochin), Kerala
Housing the sweetest bananas, most succulent
mangos and spiciest aromatic food, Kochi is the city
that is guaranteed to feed you well. The city has
welcomed everyone into its arms; from the Chinese,
Portuguese, Dutch, and English influences, you will
find churches, ancient synagogues and mosques
right beside the Arabian Sea. The biggest attractions
have derived from Kochi’s multiculturalism, such
as the 16th century Paradesi Synagogue displaying
distinct architectural designs influenced by
Hindu-Christian culture. You can learn about South
India’s dense history, art and culture at the Folklore
Museum or simply witness their mesmerising art-
form first hand, by going to Kochi’s Culture Centre to
watch a mythological and magical Kathakali dance
performance.
The hot and dry climate prevails from October to April, making it the prime time to visit Kochi. Sip on a fine cup
of Masala tea when staying at the affordable Honolulu Homestay Bed and Breakfast and enjoy being only a
10-minute walk from a variety of attractions.
