region, known for its many magnificently painted
havelis, the city residences of the merchants

trading silk, silver, precious stones, and spices. In
the evening, take a stroll through the town and visit

Days 4–5
Quaint Fort Cochin
Nestled on the northwest tip of Cochin’s peninsula, Fort Cochin is a quaint coastal region with strong links to its colonial history. The Western Ghats sit to the west while the Arabian Sea flows out from the east, making this a beautiful and relaxing place to spend a few days. Fort Cochin has long been a hub for trade. Arabian and Chinese traders flocked here for pepper, cinnamon, cardamon and cloves which are still known for their quality today. This is a bustling town, but it also has a very relaxed side to it with locals and visitors taking to the beach to enjoy the water lapping at their feet.
