Across the fort city of Kochi and misty hill station of Munnar
INTRODUCTION
A trip involving Kochi and Munnar is guaranteed to be a stunningly diverse experience. It will show you two different faces of God’s Own Country. Kochi, also referred to as Cochin or Ernakulam, is touted as the financial, commercial and industrial capital of Kerala. It exudes a rather metropolitan appeal, whereas Munnar is anything but metropolitan. The hill station, popularly known as the “Kashmir of South India”, is replete with misty green hills that touches or rises above fluffy white clouds, cavernous valleys and tea plantations.

TOUR ITINERARY
Upon your arrival in the city, our executive will pick you from the airport/railway station. After freshening up, you can venture out to the city that has much to offer. In and around the heart of the city, you have a variety of places to visit, such as the Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary or the Kerala Folklore Museum. The Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica & St Francis Church, located pretty close to each other and famous for their architecture, are also two places tourists throng. To unwind, spend some time at the Marine Drive.
If you travel to the Fort Kochi, Mattancherry side of the city, you sure will be transported to a different world. With palaces turned into museums, churches and other buildings constructed by the Portuguese, Dutch, British or Chinese, this part of the city has eclectic charm. Be sure to watch the fishermen operating the Chinese Fishing Net in the shores of Fort Kochi Beach.
