More popular as the Queen of the Arabian Sea, Kochi is a cluster of islands in the vast expanse of the Vembanad Lake. Some of these picturesque islands are Bolgatty, Vypeen, Gundu and Vallarpadam. The lake opens into the Arabian Sea here, to form one of the finest natural harbours in the world. It is this natural advantage that has made Kochi a fascinating blend of the cultures and influences of explorers and traders who visited this wealthy land.
The Arabs, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and the British, have all left their mark here. The Jewish synagogue, the Dutch palace, the Chinese fishing nets and other remnants of European and Asian architecture merge smoothly into the traditional fabric of this seaport city.
Our Sunset cruise takes you to some of the most important spots in the area, while at all times, giving you an opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking view all around you. The highlight of this cruise is, undoubtedly, a close-up view of the setting sun bidding farewell for the day in all its blazing glory. This, we assure you, will be a mesmerising experience – to round off an evening you will cherish for the rest of your life.
While at Kochi also shop for unique handicrafts, antiques and artefacts, including the world famous Kashmiri silks.
