Kochi City Tour

See the large, graceful Chinese fishing nets that line the shore, first introduced by traders from the Court of Kublai Khan. It is a short and pleasant walk to the typical English village green. In one corner stands the Church of St Francis, its simple style enhanced only by the handsome floor tiles that line the main aisle. Continue on to Mattancherry – the Jewish quarters. Inside the two-story Mattancherry or Dutch Palace, view a remarkable series of murals. There is also an interesting collection of Dutch maps of old Kochi, coronation robes belonging to the maharajas, royal palanquins, weapons, and furniture. From there, it is a short walk to the Pardesi Synagogue-a tiny but delightful structure built in 1568. Its eclectic décor includes a floor paved with hand-painted blue and white Cantonese porcelain tiles, no two alike, and a glass, oil-burning chandelier from Belgium. The surrounding area is still called Jew Town and is a fascinating mix of antique shops, warehouses, and spice auction rooms.

Kathakali

In the beginning, you can indulge yourself in watching the make-up application on the artists. Of all classical Indian dances, Kathakali has the most elaborate costuming consisting of headdresses, face masks, and vividly painted faces. It typically takes an hour to prepare a Kathakali troupe to get ready for a play. Then experience the magic of storytelling as the artists perform in a classical way. A Kathakali performance synthesizes music, vocal performers, choreography, and hand and facial gestures together to express ideas. It also incorporates movements from ancient Indian martial arts and athletic traditions of South India.

Kalaripayattu

A trip to Kerala is incomplete without watching Kalaripayattu, also known simply as Kalari. It is an Indian martial art that originated in Kerala and is known for its long-standing history within Indian martial arts. Kalaripayattu is a martial art designed for the ancient battlefield (the word Kalari means battlefield), with weapons and combative techniques that are unique to India. Like most Indian martial arts, Kalaripayattu contains rituals and philosophies inspired by Hinduism.

Fort Kochi Tour

Start with the visit of the famous Chinese Fishing Nets of Cochin. The huge cantilevered Chinese fishing nets that droop towards the waters like oversized hammocks have become a hallmark that represents Fort Kochi on every postcard. Next stop at the Steam boilers, standing harmlessly at one end of the Kochi Beach. They were once the powerful boilers that pushed a ship across the ocean in Cochin Dry Dock for twenty years from 1956.
