I am a frequent visitor to shopping malls during the summer months. The reason is simple, they are air-conditioned, offer great deals and good food. I stay close to Elante Mall so that is at the top of my list among the most visited places.
VR Punjab Mall was earlier called North Country Mall, I guess the owners changed and they thought of changing the name. It is very far away from Zirakpur where I stay but very close to my workplace:)
The building is huge and the surroundings are clean and tidy with well-dressed staff assisting you with parking and other things. They charge a nominal fee for parking, only 30 rupees for basement parking and 50 rupees for premium parking whereas Elante Mall charges by the hour. The open space in this Mall is aplenty, if you plan to see all the stores which retail here then you could end up walking some 3-4 kilometers:)
This is the only Mall in the Tricity which houses H&M, this store has the most stylish apparel designs which are not that expensive. It also houses Central, which offers great deals in footwear, baggage and clothing. There are lot many others which one can visit like Zara etc. The crowd here at the Mall is not so sophisticated as it is in Elante Mall. I have not been able to visit the Food Court till now but will sure visit sometime soon.
