2-Day Kochi Itinerary for Motorcycle Riding Enthusiasts

  1. Day 1: Fort Kochi Beach
    9 minutes (1.2 miles) from Kochi City Center

    Morning: Start your day with a refreshing ride to Fort Kochi Beach, a serene and picturesque beach that attracts locals and tourists alike. Take a stroll along the shore and enjoy the view of the famous Chinese fishing nets. Don't forget to try fresh seafood from the local vendors.
    Afternoon: From the beach, ride to the Dutch Palace, an architectural marvel from the colonial era. The palace showcases a beautiful blend of Dutch and Kerala style of architecture. The palace is closed on Fridays.
    Evening: For a relaxing evening, visit the Jew Town and the adjoining spice market. Take a leisurely walk through the narrow alleys while savoring the aroma of spices, and don't forget to pick up some souvenirs from the local shops. The spice market and shops close by 7 PM.

  2. Day 2: Athirapally Waterfalls
    1 hour 33 minutes (42 miles) from Kochi City Center

    Morning: Head out to Athirapally Waterfalls, one of the most beautiful and majestic waterfalls in Kerala. The ride to the falls is as thrilling as the falls itself, with winding roads and lush greenery. The falls are at their best during the monsoon season.
    Afternoon: After spending some time at the falls, ride to the nearby Vazhachal Waterfalls, which are equally spectacular. The falls are closed during the monsoon season, so it's best to check before you go.
    Evening: On the way back, stop at Valparai, a beautiful hill station nestled in the Western Ghats. The ride to Valparai offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and tea gardens. Don't forget to try some fresh tea from the local tea stalls.

Recommendations

You can also consider visiting the Mattancherry Palace, the St. Francis Church, and the Hill Palace Museum if time permits. For a side trip, you can ride to Munnar, a beautiful hill station known for its tea plantations and scenic beauty. To maximize your fun, rent a motorcycle with good suspension, especially if you plan to ride to the waterfalls. Also, carry rain gear and suitable clothes for the monsoon season. Finally, don't forget to enjoy the local cuisine and indulge in some shopping for souvenirs and spices.
