Magical Fort Cochin-Kerala, India-Land of Beauty And Harmony

Fort Kochi or Cochin is an extrordinary place to visit in South India. Ruled by the Portuguese, the Dutch, and British and of coarse Rajahs it is a wonderful mix of architecture, history, and a harmony of local people and various cultures that is unique in India.

As local resident experts have explained to me the most rewarding part of a visit to Fort Cochin is not necessarily the sights you’ll see. It’s more about the appreciation of the local culture and people and the relaxed feeling you will easily pick up on right away. It’s one of my favorite destinations in India.

On my last visit I spent time broadcasting from a number of locations around the Fort Cochin area relaying my thoughts and impressions of the region and answering questions from viewers on Periscope about travel to Kerala and general travel related questions and subjects on Asia. One of the highlights of my stay in Cochin was enjoying the sunsets from the town’s nearby beaches.
