Taj Malabar Kochi Vlog (9 Oct 2026): Quiet Water, Loud Hall

A full day at Taj Malabar Resort & Spa, Cochin (Kochi): the ride in across the bridges, the island it sits on, the lobby and the rooms, a loud hall, the buffet, the waterfront and dusk. Filmed on 9 October 2026. Quiet water or a loud hall - this hotel had both in one day, and I filmed all of it.
