Kochi, India in €310s rtn

We think it's about time you were introduced to the alternate side of India.

May we present the palm-lined, beach-fringed shores of Kerala, and more specifically Kochi.

Forget what you've heard of the buzzing streets and honking tuktuk horns, this coastal city is so laid back, they make this pose look easy!

Travel tip: Visit over the 14th of March, and you'll swap the gentle sound of lapping waves with the lively beats of DJs, dancing and spontaneous paint fights. Join organised parties like the one, or just walk the streets, either way, prepare to get drenched in colour.
