Overview. Kochi, better known as Cochin is Kerala’s most cosmopolitan city. It is also the main trading centre for spices and seafood. Built around a saltwater lagoon of the Arabian sea, Kochi is in fact a collection of narrow islands and peninsulas. While mainland Ernakulam boasts of concrete shopping malls and glitzy apartment buildings, Mattancherry and Fort Kochi have a old world charm, with their blend of Dutch, Portugese and English bunglows and quaint narrow streets. The scenic location of Kochi’s natural harbour, surrounded by palm groves, green fields, inland lakes and backwaters, has enchanted visitors from across the globe for centuries.

Experience the historic synagogues of Cochin on a guided tour. Explore the past of Kerala’s historic synagogues and discover why they have endured for so long.
