The place
For over six centuries, ships from Arabia, China and Europe have dropped anchor at Kochi, and each one left something behind — a synagogue, a basilica, a spice warehouse, a recipe. The result is India's most layered small city, where Chinese fishing nets silhouette against the sunset a stone's throw from a 16th-century Portuguese church.
Spend your evenings in Fort Kochi's leafy lanes: antique shops, cafés in old godowns, and Kathakali performances that begin with the lamp and end long after dark. Every one of our journeys begins or ends here.
— Salt, cardamom and evening drums in the spice districts.
