DAY 06

JAIPUR – COCHIN VIA MUMBAI (BY FLIGHT)

After breakfast transfer to Airport to board the flight for Cochin via Mumbai. Meet and assist on arrival at Cochin airport and transfer to your hotel.

Cochin is one of the most interesting towns in South India. A trading port since Roman times, it was on the main trade route between Europe and China. Fort Kochi, a Portuguese fort, founded in 1503 is now in ruins. The Portuguese built the Mattancherry Palace in 1557 as a gift for the Raja of Kochi in exchange for trading rights and in 1663 the Dutch substantially rebuilt it. The cosmopolitan history is still evident as well as European intervention. The Jewish synagogue is in Mattancherry and the Jews claim to have settled here in 587 BC and some legends trace their origin to King Solomon 1030 BC.

In the evening watch Kathkali Dance performance and back to hotel. Overnight is at Hotel.
