Tips for Planning a Perfect Honeymoon in Kochi Especially Fort Kochi

It is not for the first time I am visiting the marvellous Kochi situated in the hearts of Ernakulum district in Kerala. Even though I spent nearly a couple of weeks with my family and friends in Ernakulum I purposefully missed Fort Kochi it is not because I did not have much time but I had a misconception that Fort Kochi consists of many remains of colonial days. As I am least interested in learning the intriguing lessons related to history and geography I just skipped it. After a couple of years when I got married some of my friends suggested visiting Kerala famously called as ‘god’s own country’. I just told them “it is hardly being two years that I had a remarkable journey to the paradise of wonders”. They then asked me which all places I visited and what all I did? It was not hard for me to recollect the mesmerising places as those places really played a significant role in building good memories. Suddenly Ram asked me what about the gorgeous Fort Kochi. For a moment I remained silent as it is the only place in Ernakulum district that I omitted for a silly reason. I told him everything about what I did not visit it. It was through Ram I understood my decision was one of my great mistakes. He told me that “Fort Kochi is popularly known as the ‘old Kochi’ and carries many astounding natural wonders. People who visit the gorgeous place will be tempted to purchase the tour packages to Kerala again and again.”  Listening to our conversation my hubby insisted to change my mind and to avail of the honeymoon packages to Kerala and explore the stupendous tourist places that I purposefully and unknowingly missed on my last trip. It was Ram who advised us to purchase the tour packages from popular tour operators called Dream Holidays. They try to make their tour packages attractive by inculcating with airfares. The feature really lured our minds and we boarded the flight to Cochin International Airport from our hometown.
