Enjoy a Memorable Holiday in Kochi, A Place Where the River Meets the Sea

Serene backwaters, sandy beaches, unending slopes of tea plantations, spice estates, steaming hot appams and fish curries, and temples – these and many more natural wonders epitomise Kerala tourism. However, Kochi is different. It has a unique charm where history and tradition are juxtaposed with modernisation.  

Kochi, or Cochin, as it is popularly known, is an important port town in India, and it has been one of the most significant trading hubs since the pre-colonial era. During the British Raj, the port was used for spice trading, attracting traders from all over the world. Romans, Greeks, Arabs, and Jews frequented the port for trading, and they left a lasting mark on the city and the local culture, as you can see plenty of Jewish and Portuguese settlements in Kochi.  

While the whole of Cochin is captivating, one of the hidden gems in the city that deserves a special mention is Cherai. It is where one of the most beautiful natural phenomena occurs – it is the site of the confluence of the Periyar River and the Arabian Sea. You can witness the beautiful sight of the river meeting the sea and visit many more historical places in the town by booking your stay at Club Mahindra Cherai resort, one of the best beach resorts in Kerala.
