A land myriad in culture, customs and creed, Fort Cochin is a melting pot of varied diversity. It is located in the district of Ernakulam,in the state of Kerala, in the country India. Sobriqueted The Queen of the Arabian Sea, Fort Cochin has a wonderful contour. A few minutes walk from this small town takes you to its beach and a few minutes drive off city limits lands you under milky white waterfalls. This isn't all. You can even opt for a cruise through the Vembanad Lake or even take a stroll down the scenic and colonial streets flooded with shops and vendors selling artifacts and antiques. If China is the place where you make your money, definitely Fort Cochin is the place to spend it.
