Hi Rasheed

Cochin is definitely a must see besides the backwaters. The most interesting part to me is the way people (locals) interact and go about their daily lives. Kerala is one place where one can really make the best of the greenery, nature and people along with it's Kalaripattu and folk dances.. Enjoy the place my friend.

Kerala has a wide variety of options for any traveller. The state capital of Trivandrum has temples, zoo and other locations of interest. Cochin is another good city to visit, and don't miss the Chinese fishing nets while in Kochin. Try the backwater ride from Quillon to Alleppy. Stay in a house boat. Visit Periyar wildlife sanctuary and take a boat ride in the Periyar river, visit Munnar, Eravikulam National Park... The options are many... Have a great time.

Morning tour of Cochin. Cochin is the natural harbour created by the famed underwater Malabar mud-banks whose quality ensures that the rougher the seas are outside the calmer the waters are within the Harbour. Vasco-de-Gama placed it on the world map. It has a Jewish synagogue, Portuguese churches, mosques & Hindu temples. Watch the Chinese Fishing Nets.

Afternoon free. Overnight Cochin.
