What airport should I fly into?

Fly into Cochin International Airport (COK) — that’s the closest airport to Kochi and all our venues (about an hour’s drive). If you’re flying via Mumbai (Bombay), note that the city has two airports — one for international arrivals (CSMIA Terminal 2) and another for domestic departures (Terminal 1). If you need to change terminals, leave at least 3–4 hours between flights. You can also connect through Delhi, Bangalore, or Chennai, which all have frequent domestic flights to Kochi.

Airport pickup is not automatically arranged, but we’ll be circulating a form closer to the date to collect arrival times — so we can help coordinate shared rides. If you’re staying at The Avenue Regent, the hotel offers an airport pickup service (check directly with them). Otherwise, Uber is the easiest and cheapest option — expect around ₹1000-₹1500 (≈ $12-20 USD) for a one-hour ride from the airport to the city center.

Yes! You’ll need an Indian e-Visa. Apply online at the official Indian e-Visa website . Processing takes 3–5 business days, but apply at least 3–4 weeks before travel to avoid last-minute stress.

The currency is Indian Rupees (INR). You can exchange cash at the airport or use ATMs once you arrive — Kochi has plenty. Major credit and debit cards are widely accepted, including contactless payments in most big restaurants and hotels. Still, keep some cash for autos, small cafes, or tips.

Yes — you can easily get a Jio or Airtel SIM at the Kochi airport. You’ll need your passport and one passport photo. Most hotels and cafes have good WiFi, but a local SIM is encouraged.

Uber works really well in Kochi. You can also use auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuks) for short distances — they’re cheap, fun, and everywhere. Pro tip: if the driver refuses to use the meter, agree on a price before you start.

Yes, Kochi is safe and friendly — especially around Fort Kochi and the city center. It’s a relaxed coastal city, so evening strolls and exploring cafes are totally fine.

Yes! Rooms at The Avenue Regent are double occupancy, so you can share with a friend or partner.

Yes — breakfast is included at The Avenue Regent (and it’s great!).

Yes — most restaurants, hotels, and stores accept Visa, Mastercard, and even Apple/Google Pay. Keep some cash for autos or small stalls.

India uses Type C, D, and M plugs (230V). Bring a universal travel adapter — most hotels have multi-socket outlets too.

Not really. It’s not part of the culture. If you wish, tip 5–10% at restaurants or a small amount for hotel staff — completely optional.

The local language is Malayalam, but everyone speaks English. You won’t have trouble communicating anywhere.

Not required, but totally welcome! If you’d like to wear something traditional, there’s a shopping guide on the site — places like Jayalakshmi and Seematti have beautiful Indian outfits for all budgets.

You can, but some venues have outdoor or uneven areas — block heels or wedges are safer and more comfortable.

Yes — please RSVP for the main wedding and friends-only cocktail party. The rehearsal dinner is casual and doesn’t need an RSVP.
