Surathkal To Kochi (Cochin)

Kochi Kolling

Post by Jackie | Bangalore | Nov 22, 2011

One can reach Kochi by air, rail, sea, and road. The airport is located at Nedumbassery, about 30 kms off Kochi . And the bus and train station is situated in Ernakulam.I traveled to Kochi by bus and it took me about 10 hrs to get there. If you want to go by bus then make sure you book a Mercedes Benz bus as its the the best way to travel.When in the city, be prepared to do a lot of traveling in autos as places are not that close. Autos don't like waiting and might charge you more if you want them to wait. You are going to be spending a lot on auto fares so keep a lot of hundreds handy. the minimum they will charge is 50 bucks.

Fort Kochi- Witness to the Rulers of India

Train to Ernakulam; get a taxi and head straight for Fort Kochi, not wasting time in mainland as the price will shock you in the little uppish restaurants. Please do stay in one of the home stays which you can find on the internet. A newcomer, unless having made prior bookings, would not get much help as people other than those of Fort Kochi in whole of Kerala ask too many questions - especially if you are an Indian tourist. Careful: monsoon, unlike other parts of Kerala, are okay; but Kochi needs a lot of spirit to visit. Restaurants are not exactly a vegetarian’s delight. Try the guys who fry your fish near the Kohder House lane heading towards the beach near the nets.
