Grab a quick bite or a drink at Green Chillies. It is just a one-minute walk from Changampuzha Park, making it a convenient stop before you head toward the temple area. The kitchen is open late, so you can eat or drink while the light is still bright.
17:47
Walk from Changampuzha Park to Thrikkakara Temple. This is a major center for Onam festivities and the only temple in India devoted to Vamana. Arrive before the sun sets to see the temple grounds and architecture in the fading daylight. The temple is open and free to enter.
18:07
Head to FIGA garden for the sunset moment. Located just 14 minutes south of the temple, this garden offers a peaceful spot to watch the sun dip toward the west. The golden light starts around 17:39, so you will have about 30 minutes of warm light before the sun sets at 18:07.
18:37
End your evening at Elga. This park is a short 12-minute walk from FIGA and offers a quiet place to unwind as the day ends. It is a good spot to reflect on the day’s journey through Kochi’s spiritual and natural spaces.
