Kochi · India
Plan Kochi around the right base area, not just a list of attractions. For most groups, the key choices are fort kochi for heritage and cafes, whether to prioritise fort kochi streets and chinese fishing nets or mattancherry palace/jew town, and how much buffer to keep for local transfers, weather and group split-ups.
