About Haila Kochi

Haila Kochi is a digital lifestyle magazine for Kochi, Kerala, your guide to the food, culture, events, business and people that make this city one of India's most characterful. Think of us as a local, opinionated, genuinely useful companion to living in and visiting Kochi.

What we cover

From the restaurants opening in Panampilly Nagar and the cafes of Fort Kochi, to the Kochi Metro and the Water Metro, the startup scene in Kakkanad, the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, and the neighbourhoods, beaches and heritage of the old port city, if it matters to Kochi, we write about it.

Our promise

Real places, real detail, real usefulness. We write for people who live here and people who are about to fall in love with the place. No filler, no fluff, just the best of Kochi, clearly told.
