About Kochi

Kochi, the Queen of the Arabian Sea, is a cosmopolitan port city with layers of history from Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial periods. Fort Kochi, with its charming streets, art galleries, and iconic Chinese fishing nets, is particularly popular with digital nomads. The city hosts the famous Kochi-Muziris Biennale, attracting artists and creatives from around the world. The proximity to Kerala's backwaters and beaches adds to its appeal as a nomad destination.
