Kochi has its own traditions and so is the drivers here. If you see a vehicle with hazard signals on, don't misunderstand. People in Cochin use 'hazard signal' (turning both turn signals on at the same time) to tell you that they want to go straight. Well, it's ridiculous but that's what it is.

While driving on the kochi roads, keep double the safe distance from red coloured killer busses. These drivers are reckless.

Vagamon Heights is a private tourist spot. Extended in 300 acres of land, this place is a hill exploration point. They had private lakes, tree houses etc. Off road jeep safari in the hilly area was a good adventure.

Well, I am driving on Kochi roads for more than two years. During this time, I learned a lot about driver's and pedestrians' habit. I had my lessons learned, and thank God, not in a much hard way. In this series, I am sharing my experience of driving at Kochi roads. If you are not from Kochi but drives (or planning to drive) on Kochi roads, keep revisiting this page. I'll keep updating this page on regular basis.

Technorati Tags: Kerala , Travel , India Kumbalangi is a small integrated tourism village located 45km from Kochi International Airport. With a population of 30,000, the palace is popular for backwaters and Chinese fishing nets. The best toddy (local wine) shops can be found near the village as it is home of some fine toddy tappers. Seen in the picture is a fish pond in the backwaters surrounded by the coconut trees. Flickr Tags: Kumbalangi , Kochi , Kerala , India , Travel

We were in the middle of market the other day when we found this Monitor Lizard at the corner of the road. Some locals have tied it with a rope while they were waiting for the forest official. Pic taken at Kakkanad, Kochi, South of India.
