3 DAYS IN FORT KOCHI, KERALA | solo slow travel vlog
I took an overnight train from Bangalore to Ernakulam and spent three slow days exploring Fort Kochi on my own.
A lot of women have asked me about travelling to Fort Kochi solo. I travelled alone throughout this trip and, in my experience, felt comfortable exploring by myself. I stayed in an all-women dorm and mostly walked around during the day, with a little more caution in the evenings.
I didn't try to cover all the famous places. I wanted to travel slowly, spend time at cafés, walk around without a plan, and actually enjoy the place instead of rushing from one spot to another.
So, this isn't a complete itinerary. It's a simple guide to what I did, where I stayed, and a few places I'd recommend.

There are still so many places I didn't get to see, and that's okay. Maybe that's a reason to go back.
If you're planning a trip to Fort Kochi, I hope this video gives you a few ideas without making you feel like you have to rush through them all.
Thank you for spending a little bit of Fort Kochi with me.
