More about Cochin




Cochi, placed at the southwest of India, also known as the Queen of Arabian Sea. This is the virtual capital of Kerala. The latest Developments are the Smart City and the Info park in Kakkanad.
The places to see here are Fort Kochi, Mattanchery the royal Marine Drive at Menaka, Bolghatty Palace and the St Francis church. This church was build by the Portuguese when they came first to India.
Kochi is one of the Fastest growing city in India. It has a shipping Port, International Airport and railway. The only thing you will notice in the roads are the busy traffic which cannot be controlled now. This is geographically a small city but with population its a metro city.
You are viewing the Thevara bridge(Photo taken from SH College Thevara) which was created by the British when they ruled India. Any way still this bridge is stronger than the bridges those were build by the Keralites in the state.
In the right side of the bridge is the Cochin Port; one of the most busiest ports in India. It has lots of projects that they are only taking new projects after 2010.
In the left side of the Bridge is the Kochin Naval Base. The Indian Navy is playing a major role in the development of Kochi. Since all these are parts of Kochi it's growing enormously fast....
