If you are a north Indian, then visiting Cochin would be truely a remarkable journey for you. Things gets better if you hire FRIDAY HOLIDAYS as your tour operator. Usually north Indian do not get to see greenery around them in their day to day life, but its just the contrary with southern part of India. You will be seeing coconut trees in every step you walk in the Cochin city. The crowd is very less, and most of the roads are a kind of boulevard. Friday holidays would not leave even a single chance to make you see the real beauty of the city. A silent place where only the sweet melody of nature resides.
Moreover, the DUTCH CEMENTRY and the CHIRAI beach are also very close to the Cochin city, means you just gonna love this city if you like the Britishers architecture and sea ways.
