Kochi

Location: Kochi, Kerala, India

Visit Time: Winter (October to February) is the best time to visit Kochi as the weather is very pleasant. Temperatures range between 17°C and 33°C. This is a great time of the year for honeymooners, beach bums and adventure seekers.

Situated on the southwest coast of India, Kochi or Cochin is a bustling commercial port city with a trading history that dates back to at least 600 years. Called the Queen of the Arabian Sea, the city is the financial, commercial, and industrial capital of Kerala. Personally, I think Kochi is a maritime city. Because there are many sea beaches around Kochi.
Called the “Queen of the Arabian Sea”, Kochi was an important spice trading center on the west coast of India from the 14th century onward and maintained a trade network with Arab merchants from the pre-Islamic era.
