Fort Kochi, our 8th destination in the list which was roughly 130 kms single lane ride. 

We enjoyed exploring this city & the dutch influence was more prominent while we walked the streets of Kochi. It was amazing so see how diverse, multicultural & artistic this city is. 
You must visit Kochi-Muziris Biennale this Nov 2021 (https://kochimuzirisbiennale.org/) if you have appreciation for art.
