1. Chinese fishing nets (Cheena vala) are a type of stationary lift net in India. They are fishing nets that are fixed land installations for fishing. While commonly known as "Chinese fishing nets" in India, the more formal name for such nets is "shore operated lift nets". Huge mechanical contrivances hold out horizontal nets of 20 m or more across. Each structure is at least 10 m high and comprises a cantilever with an outstretched net suspended over the sea and large stones suspended from ropes as counterweights at the other end. Each installation is operated by a team of up to six fishermen. While such nets are used throughout coastal southern China and Indochina, in India they are mostly found in the Indian cities of Kochi and Kollam, where they have become a tourist attraction. This way of fishing is unusual in India and almost unique to the area, as it was introduced by Chinese explorers who landed there in the 14th century.

• 5Best sight seeing tour with shahir!

  I had a wonderful experience on this tuk-tuk tour! My driver, Shahir, was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and organized the sightseeing so efficiently that we got to see so much without feeling rushed. On top of guiding me through the best spots, Shahir took some amazing photos for me, which really made the trip special and memorable. I highly recommend asking for Shahir if you want a smooth, fun, and picture-perfect tour!

• 5Shibab makes Fort Kochi the most incredible experience!

  This is the 2nd visit to Fort Kochi and 2nd time hiring Shibab Chibu as my driver/guide. His service is excellent. He met from the train, as It was late recommended a local place to get a bite to eat before taking us to our accommodation. The next day we we had a lovely blend on enjoying the Biennale Arts festival as well as the local sites. He had fantastic recommendations for food and was very knowledgeable about the local history. He made this part of the trip one of the most memorable and stress free chapters. I would highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Fort Kochi

  Shihab was absolutely amazing and was very trustworthy. As a woman traveling alone I felt extremely safe. He was very knowledgeable and took me around to the best spots for sight seeing, best local food spots as well as shopping. He even treated me to the best samosa chat I had in Kochi. I cannot recommend this service enough. Thank you Shihab Bhai for everything

• 5Fantastic tour of Fort Kochi in tuk-tuks! Definitely recommend!

  A group of us had a free day during our business trip and wanted to check out Fort Kochi so I looked for a Tuk-Tuk tour guide ahead of time instead of taking our chances when we arrived. We are so glad we did as Shahir, Shihab and their friend were amazing! Not only were they professional and polite, they were so much fun and shared so many stories and info about Fort Kochi. The tour was a great mix of historical sights and cultural moments with a few impromptu shopping moments in between. There is no way we would have had as good of a trip on our own, so do yourself a favor and book a tour with them!!
