Overview

Kochi — the port city located on the shores of the Indian Ocean — is a place where the vastness of sea and sky meets traditional ancient charm. As dawn breaks, the sunlight bathes the anchored boats, the old tiled roofs, and the calm water, creating a simple yet enchanting atmosphere. Along the canals, lanterns, betel nut trees, and awnings breathe tropical air, harmonizing with the gentle sound of waves lapping the shore. At sunset, the brilliant evening light reflects on the sea and colonial architecture — a blend of Arab, Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences — making Kochi resemble a vibrant multicultural painting. As night falls, the twinkling lights from the port, streets, and waterfront cafes seem to tell the story of history and the present merging into one.
