Fort Cochin is the earliest recorded settlement on the Malabar coast, with its beautiful colonial bungalow peppered with Dutch, Portuguese and Malabar architecture.The many small winding streets with lovely old houses is truly a treasure trove. Vasco Da Gama Square, Dutch Cemetery, Maritime Museum, Santa Cruz Basilica etc. The tourists are armed with a Cochin heritage walk route map, which is old and incomplete. The walk is long and has many adventures and awesome stuffs which someone would miss worthwhile including the narrow path lined with little fish stalls and the Chinese fishing nets on the sea beyond them.
GeoHackers have decided to map the entire walk, and tag it in a suitable way which would help the tourists flowing down to enjoy the essence of Fort Cochin. A good quality map of the region would be printed and put up on several parts of the entire walk. These maps would have overlay information regarding distance, time, must see places, quick tips, etc. Please pull in more suggestions using comments.
