Destination & City Travel Guide
About Colombo
Colombo is often the first Sri Lankan stop after landing at Bandaranaike International Airport near Katunayake. Pettah’s market streets, the Gangaramaya temple and Galle Face Green show different parts of the city within a compact area, although road traffic changes the pace. The National Museum adds an indoor visit, and Colombo Fort remains an important transport point. Indian travellers can spend a day here before taking a train south or beginning a wider island route.
Read more about Colombo
Tips for travellers from India
Fort is the practical choice when a rail departure forms part of a short stay; Galle Face instead puts the seafront within easy reach. Cinnamon Gardens suits the National Museum and Independence Square. Bandaranaike Airport is at Katunayake, outside Colombo, so an airport hotel and a central city hotel serve different purposes. A late arrival followed by an early flight may favour the airport area, whereas a day of sightseeing needs the road transfer into Colombo itself.
Pettah and Fort fit together as a market-and-architecture walk, while Gangaramaya and the nearby lake area belong to another circuit. The National Museum is a collection visit rather than a brief stop on the way to a train, so pair it with Cinnamon Gardens. Galle Face Green is a flexible evening endpoint after those indoor sights. City of Dreams Sri Lanka opened in August 2025, adding hotel, dining and entertainment facilities to the central waterfront area; it is separate from the older museum district. For onward rail travel, identify Colombo Fort station on the ticket rather than treating every Colombo station as interchangeable. Pettah’s commercial lanes can be awkward with wheeled luggage, making Fort accommodation useful when combining a market visit with an onward train.
Best time to visit Colombo
December to March, around 23–32°C, with comparatively drier west-coast weather.

About Cochin
Kochi, historically Cochin, has traded pepper and spices through its harbour for centuries, and Arab, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch and British merchants all left traces on the islands of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. The modern city around Ernakulam runs on the port, the Cochin Shipyard, the Infopark IT campus and a large Gulf remittance economy. Visitors come for the Chinese fishing nets, the lanes of Jew Town, Kathakali performances and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, and use the city as a base for Munnar and the backwaters.
Read more about Cochin
What's new in Kochi
October 2025: Kochi Water Metro opened its Mattancherry terminal on 11 October 2025, built over the water near the Dutch Palace, adding a boat stop in the heritage quarter alongside the Fort Kochi terminal.
November 2025: A Vande Bharat Express between Ernakulam and KSR Bengaluru was flagged off on 8 November 2025, a daytime run of about 8 hours 40 minutes via Palakkad, Coimbatore and Salem.
Tips for travellers
Fort Kochi and Mattancherry suit a heritage stay with walks between the churches, synagogue and waterfront, while Ernakulam near MG Road is better for business, shopping and trains. Kochi Metro runs from Aluva through Edappally and MG Road to Thrippunithura, and the Water Metro and the older state ferries cross the backwater channels between Ernakulam and the islands. KMRL electric feeder buses connect Aluva metro station with the airport.
December to February is dry and comfortable. The south-west monsoon arrives in early June and brings very heavy rain through August, a season many visitors choose for Ayurveda treatment. Onam in August or September is Kerala's harvest festival, and many shops close for the main days. The Paradesi Synagogue is closed on Fridays, Saturdays and Jewish holidays, and visitors should cover shoulders and knees there and in the churches. Book Kathakali shows in Fort Kochi in advance and arrive early to watch the make-up being applied.
Best time to visit Cochin
December to February, with days of about 23-32°C and low rainfall. June to August brings heavy monsoon rain.

By Rail: Ernakulam Junction and Ernakulam Town are the main stations, with Aluva closest to the airport. Vande Bharat trains run to Thiruvananthapuram, Kasaragod and KSR Bengaluru.
By Road: NH 66 runs along the coast to Alappuzha and Kozhikode, and NH 544 heads inland to Thrissur, Palakkad and Coimbatore. KSRTC buses leave from the Vyttila Mobility Hub for most Kerala towns.
