Kochi

Kochi

Abundant with millions of coconut trees, Kochi is one place unmatched for its diversity of culture, landscape, religion, and culture. This tiny state tucked into the southwestern tip of India by the Arabian Sea has been a significant spice trading center in India. Maintaining trade relations with European, Oriental, and Middle-Eastern merchants earned it the title of ‘The Queen of the Arabian Sea’.

Today, the city is an eclectic blend of cultures with historical temples, synagogues, and mosques as well as remainders of British and Portuguese dwelling structures. Prized for centuries for its aromatic spices and natural beauty, Kochi remains a feast for the senses with its traditional cuisine and fascinating traditions.
