Kochera is a village in Idukki district, Kerala, India. It is also known as Nettithozhu. It lies 18 km east of Kattappana and borders Tamil Nadu. The area is farm-based, with spices and rice as the main crops. People migrated here from different parts of Kerala, especially Kottayam, Pala and Alappuzha. The local schools offer education up to Upper Primary in both English and Malayalam. Major schools include St. Joseph L.P. School, A.K.M U.P. School, M.G.M English Medium School and the Seventh-day Adventist School. Idukki Mission Hospital is the main hospital in the area. Letitia Elizabeth Landon’s poem Village of Koghera, published in 1839, notes the village’s secluded location and the rich variety of trees in the surrounding forests.
