Ernakulam

With a history stretching back to the time of king Solomon when it was known as the “Queen of the Arabian sea” Kochi has been a hot stop. Arab, Phoenocian & Chinese traders stopped in search of spices while Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama, Dutch East India Companu & the British followed. Curling around water Kochi is made up of several islands and 2 main centers. Ernakulam & Fort Kochi/ Mattancherry. Highly cosmopolitan, people live together between Chinese fishing nets architecture dominated by Dutch & British styles and the mood heavy Jew Town.

A world-class amusement park was something that Cochin lacked. Mr. Kochouseph Chittilappilly turned this lacuna into a business opportunity and Veega Land, the second biggest amusement park in India was born. Built to international standards and meticulously maintained, Veega Land is the first amusement park in the country to be awarded the ISO 14001 – 2004 Certification for environment friendliness and conservation of natural resources.

Veega Land is located at Pallikkara, just 14 kilometers from the heart of Cochin, and is easily accessible. It is a water theme park with a unique blend of technology and sculptured landscape
