According to official records, The Cochin Club was founded in 1914. Apparently, it began functioning much earlier. The Club's splendid grounds are located on the Arabic seafront, along the entrance to Cochin's harbour. The Club's main gate is opposite to the St. Francis Church, said to be the first Christian Church built in India and its northern neighbour is the historic Bastian Bungalow, the fort residence of the erstwhile Portuguese governors of Fort Cochin. Club remains the green lung of the Fort Cochin heritage zone and is one of its earliest landmarks.
The Club was once the exclusive preserve of British nationals and membership was restricted to persons of British origin. With the Indianisation of British owned mercantile and tea plantation companies, many British nationals returned to England and the Cochin Club Membership became fully Indian

Tucked away in the south west corner of India, Kerala is a narrow strip of land between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats. Kerala With its evergreen mountains, dense forests stately palms, swift flowing rivers, extensive backwaters and blue lagoons, it looks like a fairyland. Kerala is fortunate in that it can boast of balmy weather almost all the year through. Best time is November-February when the air is bracing on some mornings there is a light mist, in the hills light woollens may be required in the evenings and early mornings. Every season turns up new festivals, each a true celebration of the bounties of nature.
