Cochin Carnival In Kochi

The most unique aspect of tourism in Kochi that cannot be found anywhere else is the amazing Cochin carnival in Kochi that takes place in the aesthetically beautiful area of Fort Kochi every year in the last week of December. There are a lot of other reasons to visit Kochi, such as the scenic beaches, wonderful activities and beautiful architecture around the town. However, these are all things that tourists can find elsewhere as well, but the carnival promises to be ultimate fun. Promoted by the district tourism promotion council, the Cochin carnival is an exemplification of the festive spirit and cheer of the people in this part of the world. A holdover from the colonial times, the Cochin carnival is a blend of cultures from Portuguese to Punjabi to the local Malayali with some aspects of Dutch culture sprinkled in as well. The carnival of Kochi is a true testament to the diversity and culture present in even the smallest pocket of India and a must experience for those travelling through the country at this time.

The Cochin carnival has a number of attractions in the shape of events and competitions. Some of the competitions included in the Cochin carnival schedule are beach football, beach bike race, kayaking, swimming, marathons and even boxing and wrestling. These give a wonderful edge to the festivities with some healthy competition spicing up the Kochi new year carnival. The main event of the carnival is the beautiful parade that is held on the last day with all sorts of dance forms and colorful displays on show. This is preceded throughout the week by similar displays and fairs over the course of the Cochin carnival. The message of the carnival is that of peace, prosperity and tranquility. All this is showcased through the cultural displays over the course of the event. All this and more makes the Cochin carnival one of the must visit events for anybody planning a trip to the wonderful state of Kerala.

    Chetan's 4 days trip to Kochi

    Five-Star Experience in God's Own Country: Munnar & Alappuzha Tour Overall Rating: 5/5 (Highly Recommended!) Werecently concluded a phenomenal 3-night, 4-day trip covering the stunning hill station of Munnar and the tranquil backwaters of Alappuzha (Alleppey), arranged through Namaskaram Travels.
    The entire experience, from initial planning to final drop-off, was seamless, professional, and truly unforgettable. This package delivered the perfect blend of misty mountains and serene waters, and we can’t thank the team enough. Agent Excellence: Vineet (Namaskaram Travels) A huge shout-out must go to our travel agent, Vineet. His professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the entire booking process completely stress-free. Vineet expertly tailored the 4-day itinerary to maximize our time, ensuring comfortable travel and excellent accommodations in both locations. He was always responsive to our queries and ensured all logistics—from hotel check-ins to the houseboat boarding—were handled flawlessly. It felt great knowing we had such a reliable point of contact throughout the journey. Our Wonderful Driver: Subin Our driver, Subin, was truly the backbone of this trip. The drives between Kochi, Munnar, and Alappuzha are long, but Subin’s careful, safe driving and punctuality made every journey pleasant. He was extremely friendly, professional, and had superb local knowledge, pointing out hidden waterfalls, interesting spice plantations, and the best local spots for tea breaks. Subin's service went above and beyond; he was a reliable guide and a genuinely pleasant person to spend four days with. Trip Highlights Munnar (2 Nights) The rolling tea estates of Munnar are breathtaking. Our itinerary covered key spots like the scenic Mattupetty Dam, the fun echo phenomenon at Echo Point, and the unforgettable views from the top of the hills. The drive up, featuring stops and Valara waterfalls, set the perfect tone for the mountain stay. Alappuzha (1 Night Houseboat Cruise) The overnight stay on the traditional Keralite houseboat was magical and easily the highlight of the trip. Cruising through the narrow canals, witnessing village life, and watching the sunset over the backwaters was a truly unique experience. The traditional Keralite food served on the boat was delicious, and the staff was very attentive. In summary, if you are planning a trip to Kerala, we wholeheartedly recommend Namaskaram Travels. Ask for Vineet for the planning and Subin for the driving—they are a fantastic team! Date of Travel: October 2025 Package: 3 Nights / 4 Days Munnar & Alappuzha

    Entire trip was good and enjoyed with family, one experience could have been improved, after finalising the package cost, the hotel costs were increased by 6000 Rs. these type of decisions should be kept us informed before finalising the package. The hotel cost revision was informed after we made t
    he payment of our first instalment. This was bitter experience to be honest. Spent a wonderful time with our friends and family
