Visit Lauderdale

Beaches, backwaters, and tea and spice plantations aside, there’s a lot of history to be enjoyed in Kerala. Stroll around <a href="https://www.afar.com/places/fort-kochi-kochi">Fort Kochi</a>, the historic core of the city, and travel back to the time of spice traders and merchants along the lanes of <a href="https://www.afar.com/places/jew-town-kochi">Jew Town</a>, past the Paradesi Synagogue.
