Cochin is the second largest city in Kerala after its capital Thiruvanathapuram. Kochi was an important Spice trading centre on the Arabian Sea coast. |
This city is situated amidst the Western Ghats on the east and Arabian Sea on the West. It’s the starting point of exploring the diversity and beauty of Kerala.The cosmopolitan character of the city is reflected in the buildings and structures representing different regions of the world. Being situated very close to the sea, Kochi has a moderate climate. It faces quite heavy rains during June-August, due to the southwest monsoon. Winter starts from December and continues till February. In summer, the temperature here rises to a maximum of 35°C and 25°C in the winters.
