Kochi What to Pack: 3 reviews and 3 photos

  Jewish Synagogue, Cochin
by suvanki
 
 

Luggage and bags: Travel light....it can be hot and humid! Even a light bag will feel heavy!
A day sack for carrying camera , water, sunscreen etc


Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Loose light weight clothing
Slip on shoes for doing the sights....Jewish synagogue, Dutch palace etc, you need to remove your shoes before entering, but if using the ferries, beware that you sometimes have to jump between the gang plank and deck, so you don't want to lose a slip on/flip flop overboard!


Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Plenty of pharmacies etc in Ernakulam, but pack essential medications etc.
Rehydration salts, immodium , toilet paper, wipes - 'just in case'


sun protection essential

Photo Equipment: Plenty of film, batteries, memory cards etc.- Carry as much as You can- It's a photographers paradise!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Sun protection, shades/ hat/ cover up especially when travelling on the ferries.

Miscellaneous: Loose coins for the snake charmers/ beggars / church/ synagogue donations etc.

wet wipes/antiseptic hand gel/ tissues, as restaurants don't always have soap/towels

binoculars for spotting dolphins.

toilet paper/tissues - not always available in restaurants/toilets etc.

Bottled water- easy to get dehydrated whilst wandering between the sights!

Review Helpfulness: 4 out of 5 stars
