## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a budget hotel in Ernakulam cost?

### Which area of Ernakulam is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

> Fort Kochi, with its historical charm, is particularly well-suited for solo travellers. You'll find numerous guesthouses, homestays, and budget hotels located among its historic-era buildings. It's a very walkable area, allowing you to easily explore landmarks like the Chinese Fishing Nets, St. Francis Church, and the Dutch Palace without needing frequent public transport. The relaxed atmosphere and abundance of small cafes make it an agreeable place to unwind after a day of sightseeing.
> 
>   
> Alternatively, Broadway, a bustling commercial hub, also presents many affordable hotel choices. While perhaps less picturesque than Fort Kochi, its central location offers unparalleled access to Ernakulam Junction railway station and the Ernakulam South metro station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring wider Kerala. Solo travellers can enjoy browsing the vibrant markets and street food stalls, experiencing the energetic pulse of the city without overspending.

### When is the most affordable time to visit Ernakulam?

> For solo travellers, the monsoon season offers a great experience with lush green landscapes and fewer crowds, making it easier to secure budget-friendly rooms in guesthouses and smaller hotels. While occasional heavy rains occur, they often come in short bursts, leaving plenty of time to explore local markets and enjoy authentic Keralan cuisine at reduced prices.
> 
>   
> Couples looking for value might consider the shoulder months of late May or early October. The weather is transitioning, and while it can be warm, you'll benefit from discounted rates on comfortable stays.

### Is Ernakulam a budget-friendly destination?

> For solo travellers and couples, accommodation options are plentiful and affordable. You can find comfortable guest houses and homestays in areas like Fort Kochi for a fraction of the price of hotels in other major cities. These often include breakfast and offer a more authentic local experience. Getting around is also inexpensive, with auto-rickshaws being a common and cheap mode of transport, and local buses connecting most areas.
> 
>   
> Much of Ernakulam's charm comes from its free or low-cost activities. Exploring the historic streets of Fort Kochi, wandering through the Chinese Fishing Nets, and visiting the numerous historic-era buildings and spice markets can fill days without spending much. Enjoying a ferry ride across the backwaters is also an incredibly scenic and budget-friendly experience.

### How can I save on a budget hotel in Ernakulam with Expedia?

### What free activities should we do in Ernakulam?

> For solo travellers, a leisurely stroll along Marine Drive is a must. This picturesque promenade offers stunning views of the backwaters and the Cochin Harbour, especially beautiful at sunset. You can watch boats pass by, enjoy the sea breeze, and simply soak in the city's atmosphere. Nearby, the bustling Broadway market offers a vibrant sensory experience, superb for window shopping and observing local life without spending.
> 
>   
> Couples might enjoy exploring Fort Kochi, a historic area brimming with historic charm, easily accessible by a short, inexpensive ferry ride from Ernakulam's main jetty. Here, you can wander through the charming streets, admire the unique architecture, and visit landmarks like the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets. These nets, still in use, are a fascinating sight, and watching the fishermen operate them is a captivating free spectacle. The area also boasts numerous art galleries and street art, providing plenty of visual interest.
> 
>   
> Families can also enjoy the open spaces of Subhash Park, located near Marine Drive. It's a pleasant place for children to play, and everyone can enjoy the green surroundings and views of the backwaters. Another option is a visit to the Shiva Temple in Ernakulam, a significant religious site where you can experience local spiritual traditions and admire the temple architecture for free.
