Kochi is an irresistible tourist destination and is a must see at least once in your lifetime. This splendid city is a major port city of India and boasts of the mighty Arabian Sea as its water body. Kochi, erstwhile Cochin, comes under the Ernakulum district of Kerala. The name ‘Kochi’ owes its origin to the Malayalam word ‘kochu azhi’ that refers to a ‘small lagoon’; a very apt name for this port city. The city has been mentioned widely in the writings of ancient travelers since it has always been a favorite place of destination worldwide. In fact, many Portuguese are now well settled in Kochi and call it their home. Even now the city plays a major role in attracting tourists from all over the world. Kochi has a rich mix of both modern and ancient to suit the tastes and requirements of different people. This harmonious amalgamation of Western influence and Indian culture has given Kochi its unique identity.

Nobody goes disappointed from Kochi because the city has so much to offer in terms of tourist places including historical places, centers of religious activities, museums, children’s park and of course malls for shopping. Nature lovers don’t have to be disappointed. There are sanctuaries and wildlife parks where you can check out the local flora and fauna. A visit to the Athirapally Falls will show you nature in all its glory. The serene backwaters of Kochi, which lie parallel to Arabian Sea, are ideal for spending a lazy afternoon with your loved ones. The backwaters in Kochi are an extension of the Vembanad Lake that is the largest lake of Kerala. Marine Drive is a promenade area for couples who wish to spend a romantic evening strolling beside the Arabian Sea. It is a very popular place for hanging out among couples and families alike.
