Kochi is usually referred to the area that includes Fort Kochi, Mattanchery, the mainland Ernakulam, the suburbs on the northeast side (Edapally, Kalamassery and Kakkanad) and the suburb of Tripunithura on the southeast. It also includes a group of islands on Lake Vembanad . With the high tide of expansion, the borders of Kochi have become vague and continued growth is expected in the coming years.
