More popular as the Queen of the Arabian
Sea, Kochi is a cluster of islands on the vast expanse
of the Vembanad Lake. Some of these picturesque islands
are Bolgatty, Vypeen, Gundu and Vallarpadam. The lake
opens out into the Arabian Sea here to form one of the
finest natural harbours in the world. It is this natural
advantage that has made Lochi a fascinating blend of the
cultures and influences of explorers and traders who visited
this wealthy land. The Arabs, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch
and Gritish have all left their mark here.
