City Facts
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, with various tiny natural islands that form the subland, and the railway stations. The city is well connected by air, roads and railways. 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.
