"Two day stay in Cochin"

Apr 25, 2013

Kochi (Cochin) Experience: We had a brief two day stopover at Cochin and visited some nearby places.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: We visited the Adirampally water falls about 60 km from the city. The ride had stretches of very bad roads so be prepared. Also it is blazing hot at the falls so carry caps, and even umbrellas. We also went to an elephant training camp at Kodanad, about 40 km away from the city. It is located on the banks of the Periyan river. There were some eight or ten elephants ranging from 2 years to 12 that were undergoing training there. There is also a medicinal plant garden and a small interpretation centre on elephants and also an ice-cream outlet! Children will enjoy the trip greatly.

Activities & things to do: Cochin has a lot to offer in terms of exotic sites, kerala cuisine and shopping. it is an upcoming modern city - the Mumbai of Kerala.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Well connected by road, rail and air.

Kochi (Cochin) Experience: A vast, yet a congested city. A big, yet a small city. The main roads are very wide but the inner roads are very narrow. Despite all these, the trip is enjoyable and nice.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: We stayed in Travancore Court Hotel in Warriam Road. A nice hotel. Nearby (even walkable distance) there is a Restaurant (towards the sea). The food in this hotel is superb. Emmanuvel shopping mall is very famous. St. Basilica Church towards the Port side is very nice and worth seeing. A very important place for Christians. Wonder La water park is another attraction.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Kochi (Cochin) is well connected with major cities in India both by Air and Rail.

Kochi (Cochin) Experience: It was really a nice & excellent experience to visit at Kochi in KERALA for the first time . I have read a lot & also listen from my friends about natural beauty of KERALA ( THe God's own Country). From airport to Hotel , the journey was refreshing , even after it was long & far from airport. The stay was very good at PJ Prince. The services of TAVERA , put on our disposal was also very good . on the last day of our package , we have also visited to Malls & major shopping complexes .

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: as the hotel was out of city , so we have enjoyed the food at hotel only which was quite good & breakfast was very good in next morning.during the day time , we have visited Church , China market , local temples , beach near to church & local market.

Activities & things to do: Try to make visit to malls & markets on the the very first day , if you have only one for one day stay only. Now the India's biggest mall 'LULU MALL' is in KOCHI. I think , it should not to be skipped. It was recently inaugrated in March.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Kerla is best for tourists & there does not seem any chance of being cheated . The people are simple , but only problem of language , with locals.
