Itinerary
Chinese Fishing Nets
Chinese fishing nets(Cheena vala)are a type of stationary lift net in India. They are fishing nets that are fixed land installations for fishing. While commonly known as Chinese fishing nets in India, the more formal name for such nets is shore operated lift nets. Huge mechanical contrivances hold out horizontal nets of 20m or more across. Each structure is at least 10m high and comprises a cantilever with an outstretched net suspended over the sea and large stones suspended from ropes as counterweights at the other end which is operated by a team of up to six fishermen. While such nets are used throughout coastal southern China and Indochina, in India they are mostly found in the Indian cities of Kochi and Kollam, where they have become a tourist attraction. This way of fishing is unusual in India and almost unique to the area, as it was introduced by Chinese explorers who landed there in the 14th century. Indeed, one interpretation of city name Kochi is ‘co-chin', meaning like China

When In India, Do As Sanoj Does
Published on Feb, 2025
My friends and I were welcomed to Kochi for the first time by Sanoj, who made us feel like family. His private tour led us to his Uncle’s butcher shop, a hand-washing laundromat dated back to the 1700s and the world’s longest stick of incense and largest bottle of perfume. Book with him and enjoy the adventure!
Great afternoon
