Planning a quick getaway to Kerala? A Kochi tour package with Eastmantours lets you explore the vibrant city of Kochi (Cochin), one of Kerala’s favourite destinations, even in a day or two.
Start your journey at Marine Drive, known for its stunning views of the backwaters and harbor. Government-operated boats are available here for scenic rides to nearby islands, offering a serene introduction to your Kerala tour package experience.
Next, take a walk through the historical lanes of Fort Kochi, where the past comes alive. The ideal dress code for your Kochi adventure includes cotton outfits, shorts, comfortable shoes, and a hat to beat the tropical heat.
Visit Fort Immanuel, built in 1503 AD by the Portuguese, a symbol of the alliance between the Maharaja of Cochin and the Portuguese monarch. Don’t miss the Dutch Cemetery, Thakur House—once home to National Bank of India’s British-era managers—and David Hall, a remnant of the Dutch East India Company.
Head to Parade Ground, where colonial powers once conducted military drills, and relax for a while at the lively Vasco da Gama Square. A stroll through Princess Street showcases charming European-style houses. At the end of this street stands the historical Bishop’s House of Cochin.
For antique lovers, Jew Town and Jew Street are must-visits. Shop for bronze sculptures, vintage crockery, brass artifacts, and classic wooden furniture. While there, explore the stunning architecture of the Jewish Synagogue, a gem in many Kerala tour packages.
Travel to Thripunithura Hill Palace, Kerala’s largest archaeological museum spread across 52 acres. Once the royal residence of the Maharaja of Cochin, it’s open from 9 AM to 12:30 PM and 2 PM to 4:30 PM on all working days.
Spiritual travelers can visit the Chottanikkara Temple, dedicated to Goddess Bhagawathi, a revered deity in Kerala. Also, don’t miss iconic spots like the St. Francis Church and Wonderla Amusement Park, perfect for families and thrill-seekers.
From Fort Kochi, take a ferry to Vypin Island (about 30 km away). Enjoy fresh seafood and watch local fishermen using traditional Chinese fishing nets. This island offers a great glimpse into the coastal life that makes Kerala a top travel destination.
