Cochin Private Shore Excursions |

Welcome to Kochi (Cochin) - a wonderfully charming and eclectic Portuguese-influenced community perched on India's beautiful Malabar Coast. Take a private Cochin shore excursion to see the best attractions and local charm this region of Kerala has to offer.
Start your tour early in the morning for the chance to watch elephants bathing in the river at a nearby elephant training center. If you'd like, you can even ride one of these gentle giants. In Fort Cochin, you can wander through the city center's narrow old colonial streets and visit the tomb of Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama. A short drive away lies the serene town of Mattanchery, the oldest spice trading center in Kerala. Be sure to enjoy a delicious vegetarian lunch served on a banana leaf - the quintessentially spicy Keralan meal!
Your guide is happy to personalize a private Cochin shore excursion that reflects your unique travel interests in this beautiful and diverse area of Southern India. |
