Day 1: Fort Kochi Ethnic City Tour
Your day begins with a pick-up from your hotel or the railway station. Start your Kochi City tour with a visit to the iconic Chinese fishing nets, a symbol of Kochi that has fascinated visitors for centuries. Next, head to Kochi Beach, where you can explore the historic steam boilers that powered ships across the ocean at Cochin Dry Dock since 1956. These boilers, still visible at one end of the beach, once ran on coke, coal, and firewood.
Continue to Fort Immanuel, constructed in 1503 as a testament to the alliance between the Portuguese monarchy and the Maharaja of Kochi. Though much of the fort was destroyed by the Dutch in 1806, you can still see the remnants along the beach. Then, visit St. Francis CSI Church, the oldest European church in India and the original burial site of the famous Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama. Drive past the Santa Cruz Basilica, a grand church recognized as one of Kerala's heritage edifices.
Take an exciting tuk-tuk ride, the most popular mode of transport, to reach Dhobi Khana, a traditional laundry station established by the Dutch in 1720 to wash the uniforms of their army. Here, you'll see washermen engaged in their daily routines.
Next, stroll through the vibrant streets of Mattanchery and visit the bustling fruit market on Palace Road, known for its fresh and organic produce at great prices. The spice market is your next stop, where you can browse an array of exotic spices like ginger, cloves, cardamom, turmeric, and pepper. Pause for a taste of the local specialty, 'meter tea,' before continuing your journey.
Engage in a unique cultural experience with a visit to a local Brahmin family, the highest caste of Hindu priests and scholars. Witness a Kolam demonstration, a traditional art form of drawing intricate patterns using sparkling powders or fresh flowers at the entrance of homes, believed to invite Goddess Lakshmi for luck and prosperity. You'll also have the opportunity to visit a Konkan family and try your hand at creating a Kolam.
As your tour concludes, you’ll be driven back to your hotel or the railway station, taking with you the rich cultural experiences of Fort Kochi.
