About Kochi (Cochin)
Formerly known as Cochin, Kochi is located along the Arabian Sea, on the south-west coast of
India. Kochi is one of the seven taluks of Ernakulam district in the state of Kerala. Straddled by
the backwaters, it is bordered by the Arabian Sea in the west and urbanised region in the east.
The major part of the city lies at sea level along the coastline of around 48 km. Spread over an
area of 94.88 sq km, Kochi is the second largest city of Kerala. Inhabited by 601,574 people,
the city of Kochi is a part of an extended metropolitan region.
Comprising Kakkanad in the north-east, Tripunithura in the south-east and mainland
Ernakulam, Kochi is a part of the Greater Cochin region. Areas like Old Kochi, Kadavanthra, the
suburbs of Edapally, the exurbia of Kalamassery and some islands of the Vembanad Lake, are
also included in Kochi. It also encompasses areas like Mattancherry, Fort Kochi, Palluruthy and
Thoppumpady.
History of Kochi
According to legend, Kochi was the centre of the Indian spice trade and was immigrated by the
Arabs, British, Chinese, Dutch and Portuguese for trade purposes. During this period, the city
was referred to as Cochym, Cochin, Cochi and even Cocym.
The city of Kochi gained importance as a port in 1341 AD, when the port at Kodungallur was
ruined by flooding of the Periyar River. In the 15th century, this port city began prospering, as
the Portuguese penetrated the Indian Ocean. The first Portuguese factory was established by
Vasco da Gama, while the first European fort in India was built by the Portuguese Viceroy,
Afonso de Albuquerque. In 1635, the British settled in Kochi; however, the Dutch forced them
out in 1663.
Under the Dutch rule, Kochi developed as an important trade centre. Haidar Ali, the militant
prince of Mysore, took over the city in 1776. However, his son Tipu Sultan surrendered to the
British in 1791.
After the Anglo-Dutch Treaty in 1814, Kochi came under the administration of the British. Under
the command of Sir Robert Bistrow, the forts built across the city were destroyed and Kochi was
developed into a major Indian harbour.
Willingdon Island, which now houses the Naval Airport, Cochin Port and Southern Naval
Command headquarters, was built during the British rule in Kochi. In 1866, Fort Kochi was
converted into a municipality and its first Municipal Council election was conducted in 1883.
Later, when India gained independence in 1947, Kochi became the first princely state to join the
Indian Union willingly. In 1956, the state of Kerala was formed by the merger of Travancore,
Malabar and Kochi.
People & Culture of Kochi

Eleven years later, the Corporation of Kochi was formed by the unification of Fort Kochi,
Mattancherry and Ernakulam along with some nearby villages. From then on, Kochi became a
major commercial and industrial centre of India.
Over the course of time, successive waves of migration of Malayalis, Konkanis, Gujaratis,
Punjabis, Tamilians and Jews have made Kochi a cultural melting pot. Home to the Cochin
Stock Exchange, Cochin Special Economic Zone and Infopark and International Container
Transshipment Terminal, Kochi is referred to as the commercial capital of Kerala. Renowned as
one of the fastest growing second-tier metros in India, Kochi is a booming centre of information
technology, tourism and international trade.

Featured review about Kochi (Cochin)
Kochi Kolling
"Kochi, land of coconut trees, banana plantations, and fried fish is one of the most popular
destinations in Kerala, South India. Kochi is highly developed and you will find several
international shopping brands and restaurants. What I liked most about Kochi is that most
people speak and understand English and so getting around is a little easier. The most
common way of commuting in Kochi is by Autos. They dont have a mixed meter system and
charge exorbitant rates to take you anywhere. But the autos are nice and comfortable and who
wants to haggle when you are on holiday. Its pretty hot throughout the year so make sure you
take appropriate clothes.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: I liked these three restaurants the best. Ella, Coffee Beans
and Sea Food Restaurant. Ella is situated on MG road and serves a variety of authentic Kerala
dishes. The decor is classy as well as clean, service excellent, food tasty, and prices very
reasonable. We had Kerala Parothas, a piece of masala fried fish covered in a banana leaf,
and a portion of prawns in a coconut gravy. Great place for lunch and dinner. Coffee Beans,
situated in Panampily Nagar is known for their appams and chicken stew and having sampled
this I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of this trademark Kerala dish. Seafood
Restaurant in Fort Kochi is another place that served delicious Kerala cuisine. Though we just
has a fish curry and rice combo with a portion on prawns served in the side. It was simply
fabulous.
Activities & things to do: Fort Kochi is a nice place to spend a day. Please don't go looking for a
fort as you won't find one. What you will find are the Chinese Fishing nets, a well maintained
Dutch Cemetery, and Dutch Palace, and some very old churches. There are a lot of shops that
sell shell jewelry, cloth bags, clothes,and other nick knacks. For those who love cooking, you'll
find a number of spice shops in Broadway near MG road the most popular one being the
Gujarati spice shop. Bimbi's is famous for their chips, so make sure you pick up some banana
or tapioca chips. They don't taste as good anywhere else. If you want to pick up some curios
Page 4/16
and handicrafts then stop at Kairali on MG road. If you are up for going on a ferry ride then,
board a ferry from the Main Boat Jetty in the southern part of the city which will take you the
other parts of the city. Your visit would be incomplete without visiting the Jewish Synagogue
which is situated in Mattancherry.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: One can reach Kochi by air, rail, sea, and road.
The airport is located at Nedumbassery, about 30 kms off Kochi . And the bus and train station
is situated in Ernakulam.I traveled to Kochi by bus and it took me about 10 hrs to get there. If
you want to go by bus then make sure you book a Mercedes Benz bus as its the the best way to
travel.When in the city, be prepared to do a lot of traveling in autos as places are not that close.
Autos don't like waiting and might charge you more if you want them to wait. You are going to
be spending a lot on auto fares so keep a lot of hundreds handy. the minimum they will charge
is 50 bucks." - Jackie O, Bangalore, Nov 22, 2011
Fort Kochi- Witness to the Rulers of India
"A person travelling to Cochin will not understand the importance till he actually strolls around
the lanes of Fort Kochi. This is evidence of rulers of India over 500 years, spread over less than
10 sq km.
The relaxed pace of life is contagious; and if you go during Christmas/New Year, its very
emotional - Gandhi's dream on Secularism comes true here - all communities celebrate
Christmas.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Dutch Palace is not grand; visitors who have seen other
palaces, please note - do not get upset as this has to be seen for the historical reason. Jewish
Synagogue and also the St Francis Church hold similar historical importance. However, please
do check as they do have rather inconvenient timings & holidays. Chinese fishing nets is a must
see but now the catches are not much apparently. I assume these are being run more as a
tourist attraction. Shopping not recommended.
Activities & things to do: Walking around the Streets of Kochi and eating in the small
restaurants which existed from the days of the Raj is an experience in itself. If you do not plan to
visit other places in Kerala for backwater trips, then you could stay in the small home stay
Backwater Retreats in Kumbalangi 5 km away and spent time in Fort Kochi.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Train to Ernakulam; get a taxi and head straight
for Fort Kochi, not wasting time in mainland as the price will shock you in the little uppish
restaurants. Please do stay in one of the home stays which you can find on the internet. A
newcomer, unless having made prior bookings, would not get much help as people other than
those of Fort Kochi in whole of Kerala ask too many questions - especially if you are an Indian
tourist. Careful: monsoon, unlike other parts of Kerala, are okay; but Kochi needs a lot of spirit
to visit. Restaurants are not exactly a vegetarians delight. Try the guys who fry your fish near
the Kohder House lane heading towards the beach near the nets." - Surej Krishnadass,
Bangalore, May 26, 2006
