Ernakulam
Ernakulam
is a complex structured city, being the headquarters
of the name-sake district and the mainland of
Cochin city at the same time. There is not much
distinction between Ernakulam and Cochin which
are only separated by the spreading backwaters,
which carry many tiny natural islands which
form the subland, and the railway stations.
Originally the town shot into prominence with
the formation of Ernakulam district in 1958.
The city is neatly linked on the west-coast
line by road and rail. For Kerala, it is the
hub of all commercial and tourist connections.
Also well-connected by air also. The unique
feature of the city is its ferry services to
Vypeen, Mattancherry, Fort Cochin, Varapuzha,
Willington Island and Bolghatty Island. Ernakulam
district is a beneficiary of two most important
rivers -- Periyar and Muvattupuzha. Confluence
of 3 rivers, Kaliyar, Thodupuzhayar and Kothamangalam,
occurs at Muvattupuzha and hence it is called
so.
