Cochin International Airport (COK)

The guide was updated:
Located approximately 30 kilometres from the heart of Kochi, Cochin International Airport is not only remarkable for its eco-friendly design—being the world's first fully solar-powered airport—but also for its seamless connectivity. It is conveniently set at the crossroads of all three national highways, NH 47, NH 17 and NH 49, and it takes approximately 30 minutes to get here from the city centre. Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber are still among the most convenient ways to get to the city from the airport.

Passport/Visa

Passport/Visa

All foreign nationals entering India are required to possess a valid international travel document with a valid visa. A visa is required for most nationalities, except for Bhutan, Nepal, and the Maldives (if not arriving from mainland China). The visa can be requested through an online application process. This process is straightforward and must be done through the official Indian government visa application website. Travellers should not hire agents who claim they can expedite the process or guarantee a speedy/express grant of an e-visa.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Kochi is October through February. The weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 33 degrees Celsius. Oddly, there are hardly any tourists during this period. If you are a fan of high temperatures, travel to Kochi between the months of March and June, when the highs hit 40 degrees Celsius. July through September is the monsoon season, which means lots of rain, but also beautiful nature since the city turns into a green oasis thanks to all the moisture.

Public Transport

Public Transport

Kochi boasts a range of public transport options, from the iconic orange-and-yellow auto-rickshaws that weave through its bustling streets, to the newly introduced Kochi Water Metro, which provides a scenic way to travel along the backwaters. The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses are another reliable option, linking key areas with frequent service. While the public transport network is functional and connects major hotspots, ride-sharing apps and taxis might offer a bit more convenience for tourists, especially for those who prefer a more direct route.
