About Chennai & Kochi
A
Starting Point
Chennai
Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is India's fourth-largest city and one of its most culturally vibrant metropolises. Known as the 'Gateway to South India', the city stretches along a long sandy coastline on the Bay of Bengal. Chennai seamlessly blends colonial heritage, Dravidian culture, classical music and dance, a thriving film industry (Kollywood), and a robust IT sector. Its cuisine — from idli-dosa breakfast to Chettinad specials — is legendary across the country.

Destination
Kochi
Kochi (Cochin), often called the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea', is Kerala's largest city and a vibrant cosmopolitan port. Its unique history as a crossroads of Portuguese, Dutch, British, and Jewish settlers has left behind a fascinating blend of cultures, cuisines, and architecture. Fort Kochi, the heritage district, is a UNESCO-listed area of old spice warehouses, colonial churches, Chinese fishing nets, and art galleries that make Kochi one of India's most charming cultural destinations.
Top Attractions in Kochi

Chinese Fishing Nets (Cheena Vala)
The iconic cantilevered fishing nets introduced by traders from Kublai Khan's court, permanently installed along Fort Kochi's shoreline. They are a defining symbol of Kochi and are best photographed at sunset.

A stroll through the cobblestoned streets of Fort Kochi reveals Portuguese-era buildings, the vibrant Jew Town spice market, antique shops, and cafes, all within a compact walkable neighbourhood.
