Pachalam is a region in the city of Kochi in Kerala, India.
One of the main attractions near Pachalam is the Queen's Walkway,[1] which connects Pachalam to Goshree Bridge Road and Marine Drive. Although the roads are generally narrow (except for the wider Pottakuzhy Road, which is poorly maintained), traffic has increased as roads inside Pachalam provide an alternative route for motorists seeking to bypass Banerjee Road, especially during the Kochi Metro construction phase.
A Kerala Institute of Tourism and Travel Studies (KITTS) study centre is located in Pachalam.[2]
Goshree Bridge Road at Marine Drive ends at Pachalam. Pachalam can also be reached via Chittoor Road. Mulavukad island lies to its west, Vaduthala and Chittoor island to its north, Elamakkara to the northeast, and Mamagalam and Palarivattom to its east, with Kaloor to the southeast. It is situated between Marine Drive, Kaloor, and Edapally, acting as a connecting link between several important locations in Kochi.
