Hi,Namaste and peace!May we meet soon for sharing joy,experience and moments. My name is Neetu provide walking tours at Kochi sharing knowledge on history, culture, heritage, and spirituality.I am guiding travelers since 2019. On my walk, I show you what Kochi was, what it is today, and how its past, present, and future blend together. We explore neighborhoods, hidden corners, lively streets, and food — meeting people whose lives bring Kochi alive. Along with history, I bring my background in yoga and meditation, which adds perspective and depth. Open-minded and curious, I make each walk a true exchange — not just a tour, but a conversation with Kochi with sharing knowledge
