This is just a short introduction of Cochin so kindly do not consider it a detailed one.
"Desciption of Cochin"
"Desciption of Cochin"
Cochin is a port city rightly called the "Queen of the Arabian sea" located in the State of Kerala, also called "God's own Country", such mesmerizing title not only hints at its rich past but also of its present scenic beauty. Having a sea side location also adds to the cultural aroma which emanates from this place when you first land here. The myriad dimensions of this place urges you to be a part of it.
From its backwaters to its churches; from its beaches to its sanctuaries, every part of this "Queen" calls you to be a part of her crown. The tourist destinations of this place exceed any sort of counting but i will talk few of them. One should start from the Jewish Synagogue, the oldest of its kind in the commonwealth nations. The essence of this place will make you ponder upon Hitler's intention behind the "Holocaust". It should be followed by Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, a church originally bulit by Portuguese and elevated to Cathedral by Pope Paul IV in 1558. The willingdon Island should be next on the list. This place is heaven for animal lovers. Periyar wildlife Sanctuary famous for Elephants, bisons, monkeys, antelops along with Thattekad Bird sanctuaries famous for rare and exotic bird species will surely be able to attract your attention. The st. Francis Church is still vibrant with the Echos of European Colonial Struggles and is sure to give "Kicks" to the history geeks. The aroma from freshly fried fish on the beaches of Cochin will tickle your tastebud.
You must try out Lakshwadeep. It will consume some of your precious time in travelling but mark my words those travelling times will be worth it when you set foot on the thousand of Coral Polyps made into an island, that probably lived million of years ago.
Cochin is one of the best city in the country and the beauty of this city will not let you feel tired even for a single minute.
