Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Arrival in Kochi
Arrive at Cochin International Airport where you receive a warm welcome before being transferred to your hotel in the city. Cochin, also known as Kochi, is one of the key gateways to Kerala and is often called the Queen of the Arabian Sea. Its natural harbour, coastal setting and easy access to nearby islands make it an important starting point for many Kerala tours. As you travel from the airport you may notice views of lagoons, canals and areas connected to the wider backwaters that define this region. After reaching your hotel, complete your check in and settle into your room. The rest of the day is free for you to relax or take a gentle walk nearby to get a first sense of Cochin. The city is shaped by layers of cultural influence, and you will begin to see how traditions, architecture and daily life blend across different areas. This unstructured time allows you to adjust after your journey and prepare for the days ahead, which will introduce you to Kerala cuisine, local crafts, tea plantations, spice markets and the coastal charm that makes this region a key part of travel in South India.
