· Kochi divided into Ft Cochin and Ernakulam, and is the financial capital of Kerala

· Kozhikode also known as Calicut, It is the place where Vasco da Gamma landed for the first time in India

· Thrissur also known as Trichur and the cultural capital of Kerala

· Kannur also known as Cannanore -The land of lores and looms

· Kollam also known as Quilon - As the saying goes "Kollam kandal illam venda". If you see Kollam you dont need to look for another place to stay. It is one of the most beautiful places in Kerala. The backwaters and the portugese colony of Tangasseri make Kollam a worthy visit

Get in

· By plane

There are three airports in Kerala. The airports at Kozhikode, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram are international airports. The international airports have several carriers operating from Singapore, Colombo, Male and the Middle-east. Also Kerala could be reached through the major air-transport hubs in India like Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai. Sometimes this would be cheaper than flying directly to airports in Kerala.

· By train

Indian Railways operates several trains to and from (and within) Kerala. Trains into Kerala start from all the neighbouring states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, etc.

Log on to the Indian Railways booking site to book tickets online or you can walk up to any railway station to book tickets between any two destinations in India.

Be aware that trains are the most popular method of transport and almost all trains in Kerala originate or terminate in Thiruvananthapuram and are usually heavily booked. Buy your tickets as early as possible.

· By bus

Inter-state private and government buses operates between neighboring states. Usually the journey is performed in the night so that you can escape the heat of the day.

Get around

Trains, buses and taxis provide the easiest way to get around Kerala. Trains are good for long distance travel, say from the north to the south.

· Taxis are good but expensive way to get around for short distances. Do negotiate the price before you get into the taxi.

· Buses are good for very short travel. Both government and private buses travel between and within cities. Buses within cities are very crowded and if you travel on them, please take care of your belongings (wallet, passport) as pickpockets are not rare.
