Kochi is an old trading port in Kerala on the southwest coast of India. It might also be the mosquito capitol of India, even in December when I was there, but the old city has some great history with about a day's worth of sites. It is used most as a launching spot for trips to the Backwaters and Munnar. |

|  | Recommended Reading You really shouldn't come here without first reading "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy. She describes the uniqueness of Kerala perfectly in her sad and beautiful story. I could almost see the characters from the book peaking from behind the trees as I rode on the Backwaters. |
