Introduction

Kerala’s financial, commercial and industrial capital Kochi, also known as Cochin or Ernakulam is all about its blend of a metropolitan culture with an old world charm. It is a particularly a paradise for the history buffs, whereas Guruvayur is the place where you can have a spiritual unwinding and a relaxed day going around exploring what this quaint village has to offer.
