When
you arrive at Cochin Airport, our representative would
be there to welcome you & lodge you at the best
hotel. In the afternoon we will go on sightseeing at
Cochin to cover Chinese Fishing Nets. A
legacy of the trading connections between China and
India many centuries ago. The long rows of chinese nets
silhouetted against the sunset present a spectacular
sight of Cochin's waterfront. These are large nets which
hang from bamboo or teak posts, still to be in use by
the local fisherfolk of Fort Cochin.

is the oldest synagogue in the commonwealth. Destroyed
in a shelling during the portuguese raid in 1662, it
was rebuilt two years later by the dutch. There are
only about 17 Jews left, and that the number of adult
males does not come up to the required number for a
Priest, the Community is without one.
