Kochi has traded spices with the world for centuries, and Portuguese, Dutch and British rule have all left their mark on Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. The cantilevered Chinese fishing nets along the shore are its best known sight.

Visit the Paradesi Synagogue and the Mattancherry Palace, watch a Kathakali performance, then head south to the backwaters of Alleppey or up into the tea hills of Munnar.
