About Cochin - A Journey Through Time

Rich Historical Legacy

Our Cochin tour packages reveal a city with fascinating historical depth. The story of Kochi begins in 1102 AD when the powerful Kulasekhara Dynasty fragmented, giving rise to this remarkable port city.

Colonial Timeline:

1500: Pedro Álvares Cabral established India’s first European settlement
1500-1663: Portuguese rule shaped the city’s architecture and culture
1663-1773: Dutch administration brought new influences
1773: Hyder Ali, King of Mysore, conquered the region
1814: British took control until Indian independence
1920s: Robert Bristow transformed Cochin into one of India’s safest harbors under Lord Willingdon’s guidance

Post-Independence Era: In 1947, Cochin became the first princely state to willingly merge with the Indian Union—a proud moment in India’s independence history. When Kerala was formed in 1956, Cochin Corporation came into effect, setting the stage for the city’s tremendous commercial growth.

Silver Star’s heritage-focused Cochin travel packages take you through this fascinating journey, visiting sites that witnessed these historical transformations.

Modern Cochin

Today, Cochin ranks among South India’s most important commercial hubs. Our Cochin holiday packages showcase both faces of the city—ancient spice markets alongside modern shopping malls, traditional fishing villages near IT parks, and centuries-old churches beside contemporary art galleries.
