    Walk down to the edge of Fort Kochi Beach. The walkway is small but perfect for finding a quiet spot with a view of the water.

    Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WNW, casting a golden glow over the backwaters as the day ends.

  4. 19:20

    Trouvaille

    End the night at Trouvaille. It is a short walk back from the beach and stays open late on weekends, or until 21:00 on weekdays, giving you plenty of time to relax.

Local tip

Check the route from the beach to Trouvaille if you are unsure of the way. The walk is short but navigating the narrow streets of Fort Kochi can be tricky after dark.

Check before you go

  • Trouvaille is open Mo-Fr 09:00-21:00 and Sa-Su 08:30-22:00. If you are visiting on a weekday, aim to finish your sunset viewing by 21:00.
  • Chez Teapot is open Mo-Su 08:30-21:00, so it will be open for your pre-sunset drink.
