Additional Information

Fort Kochi has a long and complicated history of dates, events, conquests and colonizers. The old bungalows, towering trees and sprawling grounds all stood witness through the vast changes from a small village to a fortress, to a bustling trading post to our whimsical town of today. It is my passion to collect stories from the neighborhood elders and relate them to Fort Kochi’s historical timeline. These sprightly anecdotes make it easy for guests to recall their visit to our quaint historical village on the Arabian Sea. Come, be my guest.

A fascinating historical and personal perspective on Fort Kochi - A brilliant introduction to the history of Fort Kochi, made more special by Ajita's personal stories of growing up and seeing the development of the modern city with its art and café culture. We especially enjoyed the stories of Kochi's trees. Absolutely recommended.

Travel back in time with Ajita - We had an amazing morning walking tour with Ajita. She clearly knows everything about Fort Kochi and hearing the stories and history of every architecture made our Kochi trip memorable and truly insightful. If you're in Fort Kochi, we highly recommend to book a tour with Ajita.

Highly recommended walking tour - We went on a morning walk around Fort Kochi with Ajita ( 9 am - 11 am when it was cool and quiet ) then went on another tour of the Palace, Jew Street and surrounding area in the afternoon. Both were extremely good. It soon becomes apparent that Ajita , along with her parents and brother have all made their mark on Kochi and it's community. Their involvement is so interesting and admirable. I would highly recommend you go on one of the guided walks - you will learn a wealth of detail/information for your stay there.

Living Stories of Kochi by Ajita - Ajita and her family are a part of Kochi's stories themselves. It was my privilege to learn these stories from Ajita, who lived through them. Her storytelling brought life to the narratives, unlike references from a history book.
