Explore Fort Kochi in its most beautiful state: the tranquil morning calm, entirely free of crowds! Leaving the room around 6:15 AM offers the BEST time to witness the colonial streets, the stunning greenery, and experience a journey back in time.
This historical walking tour traces the incredible footsteps of the Portuguese, Dutch, and British empires that shaped this coastal town. The views, captured from the outside before the heritage buildings open at 9 AM, showcase the sheer splendour of the architecture.

Highlights of this Historic Morning Walk:
VOC Gate (1740): A monument of the Dutch East India Company, now serving as a prominent boutique hotel.
Vasco Homestay: A house believed to be over 500 years old, famously linked to the death of explorer Vasco da Gama in 1524.
St. Francis CSI Church (1503): Recognised as India's oldest European church and the original burial site of Vasco da Gama.
Le Colonial (1506): A well-preserved Portuguese bungalow that remarkably survived the Dutch conquest, now operating as a luxurious heritage hotel.
Old Harbour Hotel (17th Century): Known as the first hotel in Fort Kochi, with construction spanning the Portuguese and Dutch eras.
Bastion Bungalow (1667): An architectural key monument built by the Dutch directly upon the ruins of the Portuguese Stromberg Bastion. It now functions as a museum.
Vasco da Gama Square: The perfect vantage point to see the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets in operation.
Koder House (1808): Witnessing the grandeur of this key heritage structure built by the prominent Jewish family, the Koders.
St. Francis LP School (1888): A glimpse of this local educational landmark established during the late 19th-century British era.

We will quickly forget that we are standing in the middle of a modern city as we soak in the colonial splendour.
