Jewish Synagogues of Cochin

Explore the rich Jewish heritage of Cochin on our culturally enriching shore excursion from the port of Kochi, India. This expedition provides a unique opportunity to explore the ancient Jewish community in Kerala, highlighting two to four of Cochin's most notable synagogues, including the historic Mattancherry Paradesi Synagogue, Paravur Synagogue, Chennamangalam Synagogue, and Kadavumbagam Synagogue.

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from the port in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you travel to Paravur, approximately 1.15 hours away, anticipate your visit to the Paravur Synagogue, known for its unique blend of Kerala and Jewish architectural styles. The tour will then lead you to the Chennamangalam Synagogue, where you can admire its ornate altar, brightly colored ceiling, and beautifully carved staircase and balconies.

Depending on the schedule and time available, a stop at the Kadavumbagam Synagogue might be included before the highlight of your tour: the Paradesi Synagogue in Mattancherry. Here, marvel at rare antiques, exquisite glass chandeliers, and hand-painted tiles that narrate stories of a bygone era.

This tour not only offers insight into the architectural marvels of these sacred spaces but also provides a window into the cultural and historical tapestry that makes Cochin's Jewish community so unique.

Choose from multiple pick-up times to suit your schedule, ensuring a flexible and personalized experience tailored to your preferences. After a day filled with exploration and cultural insights, relax as we drop you off at the Cruise terminal, allowing ample time before your ship's departure.

Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the vibrant history of Cochin's Jewish heritage, where every synagogue tells a unique story of resilience and tradition.
