About Kochi
Kochi, also known as Cochin, is Kerala's commercial capital, located in Ernakulam district on the Arabian Sea coast and built around a natural backwater harbour fed by the Periyar river system. The city's old quarter, Fort Kochi, carries layered colonial history from the Portuguese, Dutch, and British periods, visible in its waterfront architecture and the iconic Chinese fishing nets along the shore, a legacy of Kochi's centuries-old role as a hub of the Malabar spice trade in pepper, cardamom, and other exports shipped through its harbour. Kochi today combines this maritime heritage with a modern economy built on IT parks, port and shipping logistics, and tourism, and is served by Cochin International Airport (COK), one of South India's busiest air gateways.
HJ Cabs provides 24/7 taxi and cab service in Kochi, including transfers to and from Fort Kochi and Cochin International Airport (COK), with fixed upfront fares, licensed, verified, and experienced drivers, and no advance payment required.
