Appearing to be<br \/>growing daily and different from the rest of Kerala, it\u2019s a fusion of traditional and modern cultures. With skyscrapers<br \/>touching the sky on one hand against the shadows of the majestic Fort, Kochi is everybody\u2019s delight. Interestingly, the<br \/>common factors between both these worlds are the red city buses, yellow auto rickshaws and ever-friendly people. From<br \/>old times, the city has been host to Arabs, Chinese, Dutch, Portuguese, French and the British traders who also came here<br \/>to admire this piece of beauty. It now is one of the fastest growing cities in the country with three IT parks in close<br \/>proximity. It isn\u2019t difficult to determine the potential of this city in terms of business and employment. To sum it up, Kochi is the best starting point to explore God\u2019s own country, since most famous places in Kerala are here, close to each other.<br \/>OVERNIGHT STAY IN COCHIN.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1573f00 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1573f00\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c7e27f7\" data-id=\"c7e27f7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d27e5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0d27e5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 02 : Sightseeing of Cochin\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2800b49 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2800b49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Breakfast at the hotel.
