JOURNEY ACROSS southern part of God's own country From Kochi
Kochi _ The Queen Of Arabian Sea
Adorned by the enchanting charm of the Arabian Sea,Kochi Is The one of the ’50 Greatest Places to Visit in a Lifetime’ by National Geographic Traveler Magazine.
​
Once upon a time, nestled along the sun-kissed shores of the Arabian Sea, lay the enchanting city of Kochi, known far and wide as the Queen of the Arabian Sea. This historic port city, with its mesmerizing blend of cultures, cuisines, and landscapes, was a treasure trove waiting to be explored. In the heart of this vibrant city lived a young traveler named Anaya. Anaya had always been fascinated by tales of distant lands, and the stories she had heard about Kochi were especially captivating. From the bustling spice markets to the tranquil backwaters, Kochi promised a journey through time and tradition. Anaya decided it was time to experience the magic of Kochi for herself. She chose Christone Holidays, renowned for their bespoke travel experiences, to guide her on this adventure. As she stepped off the plane, the warm breeze carrying the scent of the sea greeted her, and she knew she was in for something special. Her journey began in Fort Kochi, a charming neighborhood where history whispered from every corner. With Christone Holidays' expert guide, Anaya strolled through narrow streets lined with colonial-era buildings. The St. Francis Church, one of the oldest European churches in India, stood as a testament to the city’s rich past. The guide recounted tales of Portuguese explorers and Dutch traders who had once walked these very streets. Next, Anaya visited the iconic Chinese fishing nets, their silhouettes gracefully dipping into the sea against the backdrop of a setting sun. She marveled at the skill and technique involved, a practice that had been passed down through generations. As she watched the fishermen at work, she felt a deep connection to the heritage of this ancient port city. Christone Holidays had arranged a special stay for Anaya in a heritage villa, where the sounds of the waves lulled her to sleep each night. The villa, with its traditional Kerala architecture and modern comforts, was a perfect blend of the old and the new. Each morning, Anaya woke up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a delicious spread of local delicacies, including appam and stew, prepared by the villa’s chef. One of the highlights of her trip was a houseboat cruise through the serene backwaters of Alleppey, arranged meticulously by Christone Holidays. As the houseboat glided along the emerald waters, Anaya felt as though she had stepped into a different world. The lush greenery, quaint villages, and the sight of children waving from the riverbanks filled her heart with joy. The houseboat itself was a floating paradise, complete with a cozy bedroom, a deck for sunbathing, and a dining area where she savored freshly caught seafood. Anaya’s exploration of Kochi was not complete without experiencing its vibrant arts scene. Christone Holidays had secured tickets to a traditional Kathakali performance. The vivid costumes, expressive gestures, and the powerful storytelling left her spellbound. She also visited the Kerala Folklore Museum, where she learned about the diverse cultural heritage of Kerala through its vast collection of artifacts and exhibits. As her journey neared its end, Anaya reflected on the myriad experiences that Kochi had offered. It was a city where the past and present coexisted harmoniously, where every alley had a story to tell, and every smile was a warm welcome. Christone Holidays had not just shown her the sights; they had woven an intricate tapestry of memories that she would cherish forever. On her last evening in Kochi, Anaya stood by the sea, watching the twilight hues blend into the horizon. She felt a profound sense of gratitude for the journey she had undertaken. Kochi, the Queen of the Arabian Sea, had bestowed upon her the treasures of its soul, and Christone Holidays had been the perfect companion in this unforgettable adventure. As she boarded her flight back home, she knew that a part of her heart would always remain in this magical city.

Village tour at Kumbalangi with Christone Holidays
In the quaint village of Kumbalangi, nestled along the serene backwaters of Kochi, life moved at a tranquil pace. The village was a picturesque tableau of lush paddy fields, swaying coconut palms, and traditional Chinese fishing nets silhouetted against the golden hues of the setting sun. Amidst this idyllic setting, Christone Holidays, was making a big impact. Run by the passionate and enthusiastic Anjali and her husband Rajesh, Christone Holidays specialized in providing authentic local experiences to tourists. Their mission was simple: to let visitors immerse themselves in the soul of Kumbalangi, far from the typical tourist trails. One bright morning, as the village awoke to the melody of chirping birds and the gentle lapping of water against the banks, Christone Holidays welcomed a group of travelers. Among them was a family from Mumbai—Naina, her husband Arjun, and their curious seven-year-old son, Aarav. Anjali greeted them with a warm smile. "Welcome to Kumbalangi," she said, handing each of them a fresh coconut to sip from. "Today, you'll experience the true essence of our village." Their first stop was a traditional Keralan homestead. As they entered, the earthy aroma of spices wafted through the air. Naina was delighted to see an elderly woman, Amma, demonstrating how to grind spices using a stone mill. Aarav, his eyes wide with curiosity, eagerly joined in. Later, Rajesh took them on a canoe ride through the narrow canals. The water was crystal clear, reflecting the vibrant green of the mangroves. "Look, Mama, a kingfisher!" Aarav exclaimed, pointing excitedly. Rajesh smiled, sharing stories of the local wildlife and the importance of preserving this fragile ecosystem. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a warm glow over the village, the group arrived at a small island where a sumptuous feast awaited them. Traditional dishes like appam, fish curry, and payasam were served on banana leaves. The flavors were rich and varied, each bite telling a story of the region's rich culinary heritage. The evening concluded with a mesmerizing performance of Kathakali, the classical dance-drama of Kerala. Aarav was especially fascinated by the vibrant costumes and dramatic expressions of the performers. Anjali explained the tales being depicted, enriching the experience for everyone. As they bid farewell to Kumbalangi, Naina felt a deep sense of gratitude. "This has been more than just a holiday," she said to Anjali and Rajesh. "It feels like we've been welcomed into your home and your hearts." Anjali smiled, her eyes reflecting the warmth of the village. "That is the spirit of Kumbalangi," she said. "And it is our joy to share it with the world." With hearts full and memories etched in their minds, the family returned to Mumbai, carrying a piece of Kumbalangi with them—a piece of tranquility, beauty, and the simple joy of living in harmony with nature. And back in the village, Anjali and Rajesh prepared to welcome their next guests, ready to share the magic of Christone Holidays once more.
