Kerala Tourism India
A cluster of islands, Cochin is the commercial city of Kerala and is one of the finest natural harbors in the world. From Cochin (Kochi), various products of Kerala, like pepper, seafood, rubber and coir are shipped to places all over the world. There are bastions and streets built by the Portuguese over 500 years ago. The enormous fishing nets on the sea front of Cochin provide an ultimate view.
