Kochi) Backwaters 
More
popular as the Queen of the Arabian Sea, Kochi is a cluster of islands on the
vast expanse of the Vembanad Lake.
Some of these picturesque islands
are Bolgatty, Vypeen, Gundu and Vallarpadam. The lake opens out into the Arabian
Sea here to form one of the finest natural harbours in the world.
It
is this natural advantage that has made Lochi a fascinating blend of the cultures
and influences of explorers and traders who visited this wealthy land.
The Arabs, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and Gritish have all left their mark here.
The Jewish synagogue, the Dutch palace, the Chinese Fishing nets, and
other remnants of European and Asian architecture merge smoothly into the traditional
fabric of the seaport city.
Half the fun of visiting Kochi is moving
around on the local several quaint spots.
