Generally, given the weather conditions, the best time to visit Kochi would be from October to March. But before you read ahead about why Kochi is a great destination wedding place, you need to know some history. After the fall of the Kulasekhara Empire in 1102 AD, The Cochin State was formed, and while the history of what happened after isn't well documented, there are a few key facts that are still known; Calicut and Kochi had a fierce rivalry, as Calicut was already a famous port city, but Kochi had started to slowly gain popularity. It would later be invaded by the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Mysoreans, and then the British. When the British took over, Kochi was the center for the spice trade. Kochi later got its independence along with the rest of India in 1947. Now, Kochi is one of the most diverse cities in India, and thanks to immigration, a majority of the population is filled with citizens who migrated from Kerala and other parts of the Indian subcontinent.
