Kochi, also known as Cochin, showcases a mix of Chinese, British, Portuguese, and Dutch cultures in Kerala. Explore its iconic sights on this guided tour.
Itinerary
After pickup from your hotel, the tour begins at St. Francis Church, built in 1503 and regarded as the oldest European church in India. Discover its historical significance, particularly in colonial contexts, and learn about the famous Portuguese explorer buried here.
The next stop is the centuries-old Dutch Palace, also known as Mattancherry Palace, which was constructed by Portuguese colonisers as a gift to the King of Cochin. It features well-preserved mythological murals, reflecting Hindu temple art traditions.
Your journey continues to the Pardesi Synagogue, situated in the city's oldest area. This Jewish temple exemplifies the cultural diversity of Kochi. Enjoy a stroll through the historic center, characterized by narrow streets and colonial-style houses.
Before concluding the tour, you will visit the Chinese fishing nets. These structures, a legacy from 14th-century Chinese explorers, are vital for providing fresh fish and are a popular tourist attraction in the Keralan backwaters.
