Watery Ride

Travelling to Fort Cochin from any part of Ernakulam or nearby areas is easy. Roads and waterways connect it very well to them. The best option is to take a ferry from Ernakulam Jetty. You can enjoy this half-an-hour ride on the boat with just a five-rupee ticket! And to think you’ll get to see so many sights! And the government has proposed to introduce 40 more boats this year. That’s good news as a lot of students and people who live in Fort Cochin, Mattancherry and adjacent places, and tourists opt for the ferry.

You can see many islands on the way, ships and boats and many Chinese Fishing Nets, too. The island of Vypeen is also visible on the right,as you come closer to Fort Cochin. The ride itself is beautiful – islands, water birds, natural spaces, and of course, lots of sights and sounds to take in.
