How safe is Kochi?

Kochi is really safe comparing to other cities. As it is based on the comparison, i wouldn't say that it is entirely safe. Kochi have to go a long way for providing full safety. But still I am able to walk at night at a moderate level of freeness

Kochi is actually safe if you know how where to go and where not to or who to talk to and who you should stay away from. If you are looking to visit kochi, I assure you its fun and safe, although there are limitations to it like any other place

Kochi could be the most safest in kerala. The people are kind and very attentive. If you are a foreigner there is a high chance locals will ask for higher prices for every types of services. But considering overall safety it is pretty good

Is Kochi worth visiting?

Travel rating

3.9 /5

based on 3 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

Kochi is a very safe city in Kerala, India. Mind you, it’s still India, so normal caution is advised when travelling alone as a woman, but overall I felt very safe. People are kind, welcoming and very curious to learn about a world where women can freely travel by themselves. I made excellent friends who I am still in touch with today.

O decided to do a trip with my mum and aunt. So, this was a special bond trip with these two ladies. Our tour guide was such a patient man- with three ladies and shopping😄. We visited Munnar, Thekeddy, Allepey and we didn't feel unsafe at all. People there have got higher literacy rate and their airport is one of the first airports which is powered by solar panels! Food, decadent and delicious..Very natural. Love the vibes of this state in India .
