Location
Town resort in Cochin. Our Cochin team arranges transfers and can pair this stay with anywhere else on your route.
Elegant reconstructed 1880s Catholic church originally built by the Portuguese in the 1500s.
Built by the Portuguese in 1557 as a gift to the ruler of Kochi, the palace was renovated by the Dutch in 1663 and oddly is named after the Dutch.
Built in 1503 by the Portuguese, this is India’s oldest European church. Vasco Da Gama was buried here in 1524 before his remains were moved to Portugal. The tombstone still remains.
These huge 15th century cantilevered fishing nets are the legacy of Chinese traders. These nets are set up on teak wood and bamboo poles and you can watch the nets being lowered by the fishermen from the Vasco Da Gama square along the beach.



Our Cochin team will build it into a journey that suits how you travel, and tell you honestly if somewhere else would suit you better.
