COCHIN HERITAGE TOUR BY FOOT AND TUK-TUK

Explore the untainted Kochi in a local way through this private guided Tuk Tuk tour. As you get enamoured by the spectacular views, gauge out the rich history of Kochi from your local guide. Once a fishing village in the pre-colonial Kerala, Kochi was the main center of Indian spice trade for many centuries and it brought in many foreign traders. The Dutch, Portuguese, British and Jewish influences has made Cochin a very important port since the Roman times and hence accounts for its appeal even today. The main attraction of this tour is the travel in Tuk Tuk (auto-rickshaw) to visit the major landmarks like St.Francis church, the Dutch Palace, the Jain temple and many such tourist sites. Experience the rural life of the people by visiting some of the local places like Dhobi Khana (the local washing area), Ginger ware house (where spices are dried and packed), and also some cooperatives undertaken by women such as spice making, candle making and incense making. Explore the quaint streets of this city on foot lasting for approximately 2 hours which is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.Feast your eyes to the Chinese fishing nets, the Dutch cemetery, the Nehru Children’s Park, the beautiful old-styled homes in Bishop’s House road and a refreshing stroll through the seaside beach. This walking expedition reaches its climax by having tea or coffee from a local cafe.
