THE STORY
Fort Kochi: a closer look
Fort Kochi is a neighbourhood shaped by maritime connections and successive cultural influences. Streets, religious buildings, galleries and waterfront life make it well suited to a guided walk. It should be explored as a living district rather than one isolated monument.
A houseboat stay, a regional meal and an evening performance can each add a different perspective. Coastal traditions, crafts and village life make Kerala especially suited to journeys that leave room for conversation and rest.
