Kochi - കൊച്ചി

'The Queen of the Arabian Sea'. Cochin is the most charming city, blessed with its own international airport and a relatively good infrastructure, making it the ideal gateway to the state of Kerala. This has been the case since 1341, the year nature carved out Cochin's harbour with a massive flood. Cochin is also known as the Queen of the Arabian Sea.
