Tourists are attracted to Cochin all year long, but the city sees its peak travel season between the months of December, January and February, when rain is scarce and temperatures hover in the mild 20s. December also sees many booking flights to Cochin as the city comes alive with annual festivals. One such example is the Cochin Carnival – one of the greatest festivals of the year, for Cochin residents, although this event is attended by locals and tourists alike. People flock to the colourfully decorated Fort Kochi to witness unique games, people dressed in fancy dress, a massive procession which is led by an embellished elephant, music and fireworks.

The Indira Ghandi Boat Race, also held during December, is an annual water sport event and festival. Join the other locals and tourists, watching and cheering as the oarsmen race along the backwaters of Cochin.

Why visit

The historic port city of Cochin is the perfect starting point for exploring the Indian state of Kerala. The islands that make up Cochin (or Kochi) offer a taste of everything: history, culture, international influence and local culinary delights. The only real question after you’ve booked your flights is where to begin exploring the charming city.

Many travellers taking flights to Cochin choose to start their visit by exploring the historic Fort Kochi on the peninsula of Mattencherry. Here, gargantuan Chinese fishing nets line the seashore as old colonial buildings line the neighbourhood’s alleys and streets. Basilicas and churches remain as testaments to Cochin’s Portuguese past, while the remains of the VOC Gate and David Hall reflect the Dutch side of Cochin’s history.

Certainly, Fort Kochi is a far cry from the cosmopolitan mainland of Ernakulam, where highlights include the Ernakulam Shiva Temple and the shopping mecca known as Marine Drive. Also worth the trip in Cochin is the Hill Palace Museum, where visitors can see the incredible collection of 95 diamonds and thousands of other precious stones that make up the Cochin Royal Crown. While visiting Cochin, the local beaches are a must, too. Cherai Beach is a particularly popular choice for its scenic views and safe shores.

Kochi climate

Cochin has a tropical monsoon climate, which sees temperatures stay similar throughout the year, on average between 23 and 31 degrees Celsius and south-west monsoons bring heavy rains, particularly from May through October.

Getting around Kochi

Visitors have little trouble getting around the city, thanks to Cochin’s plentiful public transportation options. A well-maintained bus system connects passengers with destinations throughout the city, while inexpensive ferries make it simple to travel between the various islands that make up Cochin. Auto rickshaws offer an inexpensive way to travel directly to a destination in local fashion, while taxis, though more expensive, are a more comfortable option.

Getting downtown from the airport

Once your flight to Cochin lands, you can reach Cochin via Cochin International Airport (COK), which is about 30 km from the city centre. The airport, also known as CIAL, is well connected to Cochin through the local public bus system. Travellers can also book a pre-paid taxi 24 hours a day at counters located in both the domestic and international terminals; however, credit cards cannot be used to hire pre-paid taxis.

  • What does COK mean?

    This is defined as Kochi Airport (COK). Codes like COK are often used to just call airports uniquely.

  • What airport do you fly into for flights to Cochin?

    Kochi (COK), located 27.9 km from the city centre, is the airport you fly into when you book flights to Cochin.
