Local knowledge for Kochi
Where to stay
Fort Kochi, specifically the streets around Princess Street and Burgher Street, is where most budget travelers base themselves. Mattancherry is a short walk south and has slightly cheaper beds near the spice warehouses, though Princess Street puts you closer to the ferry ghats.
Getting around
- The government passenger ferry between Fort Kochi and Ernakulam Junction costs next to nothing and runs every 20-30 minutes. It covers the same crossing that tuk-tuks quote far more for.
- Eat along Bazaar Road in Mattancherry instead of the sit-down restaurants on Princess Street. The rice-and-curry lunch spots there charge locals' prices.
- Book ahead for the last week of December through New Year. Fort Kochi hosts a major arts festival in January and hostels along Rose Street fill up weeks out at double the usual rate.
When to go
June through August is monsoon and hostels run 30-40% cheaper with easy walk-in availability. December through February is high season, especially the stretch from Christmas through the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in January.
