The Time Travel
To closely experience Kerala's rich history and culture, our Heritage & Culture Tour is the best choice.
This 2 Night / 3 Days package takes you back in time to the 16th-century colonial era (Portuguese, Dutch, and British rule). Your stay will be in a beautiful heritage boutique hotel in the old lanes of Fort Kochi, where every wall tells a story.
This package includes the Chinese Fishing Nets, Jewish Synagogue, Dutch Palace, and a spectacular Kathakali dance performance. This trip is perfect for history buffs, photographers, and culture enthusiasts!
Cultural Immersion
Colonial Charm
You will not stay in an ordinary hotel, but in restored 200-year-old mansions and colonial buildings. The antique teak wood furniture and architecture transport you to another era.
Living Traditions
It is not just about buildings - you will also experience Kerala's living traditions. The aroma of spices in Jew Town and the live makeup and performance of Kathakali artists make your journey unforgettable.
Your Itinerary
On arrival at Cochin International Airport, our executive will welcome you. From there, proceed to Fort Kochi (approximately a 1-hour drive).
Check in to your elegant colonial-style heritage hotel and relax for a while. In the evening, we will take you to a live performance of Kerala's famous classical dance, Kathakali. If you wish, you can also watch the artists' makeup session before the show.
After breakfast, our local expert guide will take you on a walking tour of Fort Kochi. See the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets by the sea and visit St. Francis Church (the site of Vasco da Gama's first burial).
In the afternoon, proceed to Mattancherry. Here, you will visit the 16th-century Jewish Synagogue (one of the oldest synagogues in the world) and the Dutch Palace (Mattancherry Palace). The remaining time is perfect for spice and antique shopping in Jew Town.
Wake up at ease and enjoy an authentic Kerala breakfast in the hotel's courtyard. You will have time to explore nearby art galleries and cafes.
Check out from the hotel in the afternoon. Our driver will safely drop you at Cochin Airport, and you will return home with beautiful memories.
