Lulu Mall is the largest mall in Kerala, spanning over 17 acres. It has more than 200 outlets with a mix of high-end and affordable brands. Shop for souvenirs, clothes, and electronics, or catch the latest movies at their multi-screen cinema complex. There are numerous food options, including fine-dining restaurants, cafes, and fast-food chains.
Mahatma Gandhi Park is a vast green space in the heart of Kochi. The park is perfect for a leisurely stroll, jogging, and playing outdoor sports. You can also rent a paddle-boat and enjoy the boating facilities available on the park's lake. There are several food kiosks selling local delicacies around the park.
If you have more time, you can explore other beaches such as Varkala Beach. For history buffs, Fort Kochi is an excellent place to visit. A Kerala boat ride in the backwaters can be added if you have an extra day. If you have less time, you can skip the park or the mall based on your preference.
