Tour Description

Welcome to a unique experience in God's Own Country. This Jewish Heritage Walking Tour takes you through the incredible cultural heritage sites of the Jewish community in Cochin. The second Jewish community of India is called ‘Cochini Jews’. Because they lived in the city of Cochin in South India. Like the Bene Israels, the arrival time of the first Cochini Jews isn’t clear. But one fact is sure about the Cochini Jews, that they weren’t a single emigration. At different times Jews arrived and settled in south India at Kodungallur. Enjoy this magnificent tour as it will give you glimpses of some brilliant photogenic architectural sites.
