Begin your trip with a visit to Fort Kochi, a charming neighbourhood of Cochin. Walk around the picturesque streets filled with historic buildings and quaint cafes. Get clicked at the famous Chinese fishing nets and visit the 400-year-old Paradesi Synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in the Commonwealth of Nations. Go on a street art tour to deify on the stunning street art that decorates the walls of the area. Shop for souvenirs or handmade crafts in the various stores lining the streets.
Experience the serene beauty of the backwaters with a houseboat ride, the perfect activity for a Bachelor Party. Glide through the winding canals, past paddy fields, and palm trees, enjoying the still water and view of the fishing communities as you head to Alleppey backwaters. Jump into the backwaters for a swim or take part in a fishing session. As the sun sets, enjoy a barbeque on the deck and watch the stars fill the sky.
If you have more time, explore the nearby islands with a short boat ride from Fort Kochi. Head to the Mattancherry Palace, to see the historic palace of the rulers of Kochi. The nearby Lulu Mall provides an excellent shopping experience.
If you have less time, then opt for a quick tour of the city on a tuk-tuk or bike. Choose a half-day houseboat ride instead of a full-day trip.
