| Kochi (formerly Cochin) on the Malabar Coast of south-western India(see Map of India) has a long history of foreign visitors, traders and colonialists including British, Potuguese, Dutch and even Chinese mariners from the court of Kublai Khan. Famous as a spice port, Kochi is described evocatively in several wonderful novels (see Arundhati Roy & Salman Rushdie). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
