Kochi (Cochin) is often referred to as the Queen of the Arabian sea. If you want to explore the real treasures of Kerala, Kochi is the best place with a wide variety of wonders for offsite events such as beaches, backwaters, tea plantation, spice estates and enchanting Kathakali performances.

With direct flights from some of the busiest cities of India such as Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Kozhikode, and Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi is definitely one of the top picks for next employee or channel partner event.

Every year, the city hosts lakhs of national and international delegates who visit Kochi for business meetings, conferences, and offsite events. To cater to the same, there are several hotel chains like Taj, Oberoi, Marriott, Le Meridien, Crowne Plaza, etc.

When it comes to organizing fun filled activities for offsite travelers, Kochi comes with its own share of exciting options. A snake boat race is an awesome team building activity that one can organise. Watch the video to see one we've done recently.

Or, organise a treasure hunt at Fort Kochi, all the while, taking in the sights and immersing yourself in some history.

A trip to Kochi is one that not only offers a breathtaking experience but also ensures that you return with a bag filled with new and unforgettable memories that you will remember for a lifetime.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Corporate Events & Offsites in Kochi

    Is Kochi easily accessible from Mumbai?

    Yes. Non-stop Mumbai–Kochi flights take ~1 hr 50 min–2 hrs. For backwater retreats we route arrivals into Kochi and transfer 1.5–2.5 hrs by road/boat to Kumarakom/Alleppey; Munnar is a picturesque hill option from Kochi. For 100–300-pax programs, we align flights with transfer windows and keep Day-1 light so teams settle in smoothly. If you want minimal road time, consider a Kochi-city conference with one experiential day at the backwaters.

    Which hotels or venues in Kochi work for 100–300-person corporate events?

    Kochi has strong convention inventory: Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty & Convention Centre, Le Méridien Kochi, Crowne Plaza Kochi and Kochi Marriott. For resort vibes, consider Kumarakom and Kovalam clusters with lawns and break-outs. See the Kochi event hotel table for room counts and hall sizes. We shortlist by season, agenda flow and whether you prefer city-convenience or backwater ambience.

    What team-building or sightseeing works well for a corporate offsite in Kerala?

    Houseboat cruises, backwater sundowners, Kathakali/Kalaripayattu showcases, spice/tea plantation walks, and heritage quarters in Fort Kochi work beautifully. We typically combine a focused conference day with a relaxed experiential evening so groups bond without fatigue. If you’re exploring more nature-forward options, compare our National Parks list and Hill Stations guide.

    What is the average all-inclusive cost per person for a 2N/3D offsite in Kerala (including flights from Mumbai)?

    Budget ₹40,000–₹60,000 per person for 2N/3D including return Mumbai flights, hotel with meals, meeting setup, décor/entertainment and transfers. City-only formats in Kochi price tighter; split itineraries with houseboats or hill extensions trend higher. Seasonality and room view categories meaningfully affect totals. We’ll present side-by-side options so finance teams can sign off quickly.

    Which agency manages end-to-end corporate offsites in Kochi?

    ICE India is Mumbai-HQ with local operations across major MICE hubs including Goa, Jaipur and Gurugram, supported by partner networks in Kochi, Kumarakom and Kovalam. We handle flights, venue contracting, AV, entertainment and on-ground coordination, tailoring Kerala programs to balance conference time with immersive cultural experiences that teams remember.
