About Kochi

Nicknamed the Queen of the Arabian Sea, Kochi, aka. Cochin, is a major port city and has been an important spice trading center along the Malabar Coast since antiquity. Today, Kochi is also described as the financial, commercial and industrial capital of Kerala.

Kochi's rich cultural heritage has made it a popular tourist destination among both domestic and international travellers. The port of Muziris traded with the Romans, Persians, Arabs, and Chinese. The Portuguese established Fort Kochi (Fort Emmanuel) in 1503. The Dutch took the fort in 1663 and then ceded the area to the United Kingdom. Kochi remained under the control of the Kingdom of Cochin, which became a princely state of the British. In 1947, when India gained independence from the British colonial rule, Cochin was the first princely state to join India willingly.

Places to see in Jaipur

Amber Fort – Located high on a hill, the Amer Fort or the Amber Fort is the principal tourist attraction in Jaipur and a great example of Rajput architecture. Known for its artistic style elements, the fort overlooks Maota Lake with its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths. Constructed of red sandstone and marble, the attractive, opulent palace is laid out on four levels, each with a courtyard.
City Palace – The City Palace is a royal residence and former administrative headquarters of the rulers of the Jaipur State. The construction of the Palace was completed in 1732 and it was also the location of religious and cultural events, as well as a patron of arts, commerce, and industry. It now has several buildings, various courtyards, galleries, restaurants, museums, and continues to be the home of the Jaipur royal family.
Jal Mahal – The Jal Mahal, literally the Water Palace, is a palace in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur. The palace was originally constructed around 1699 and enlarged in the early 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber. The palace is an architectural showcase of the Rajput style of architecture on a grand scale.
Hawa Mahal - Known as the "palace of winds", the Hawa Mahal was built from red and pink sandstone in 1799 on the edge of the City Palace, Jaipur, and extends to the Zenana, or women's chambers. Its five-floor exterior is akin to a honeycomb with its 953 small windows called Jharokhas decorated with intricate latticework. The original intent of the lattice design was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals celebrated in the street below without being seen. This architectural feature also allowed cool air from the Venturi effect to pass through, thus making the whole area more pleasant during the high temperatures in summer.

Besides these, there are many other great places to visit in Jaipur, such as Diggi Palace, Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Rambagh Palace, Digamber Jain temple of Sanghiji, Birla Mandir, Birla MandirGaltaji Temple, and Kanak Vrindavan.
