Hello! I am Anand. When you book your transfer from Kochi Airport to Gavi (Pathanamthitta) with us, you aren't just getting a cab; you are securing a private, English-speaking local expert.
This specific route features highways followed by extremely dense forest roads and steep ghat sections. Having navigated these Kerala roads for years, my team and I know exactly how to handle them safely. We highly recommend a Toyota Innova Crysta for power, clearance, and safety on rough forest routes for your comfort.
Don't rush the journey! If you have time, ask your driver to stop at Mundakkayam and Kuttikkanam to experience the true beauty of Kerala along the way.
The total distance is approximately 170 km. By private taxi, the scenic journey takes around 5.5 Hours.
Because this route features highways followed by extremely dense forest roads and steep ghat sections, we highly recommend booking a Toyota Innova Crysta for power, clearance, and safety on rough forest routes to ensure the safest and most comfortable ride possible.
Yes! We highly encourage our guests to ask the chauffeur to pause at scenic spots along the way, such as Mundakkayam and Kuttikkanam, for photos and refreshments.
Absolutely. We provide a premium door-to-door service directly to Gavi Forest Checkpost or KFDC Eco-Lodge or right into your resort lobby.
For the best views and least traffic, we recommend starting this journey Very early morning to align with the strict forest entry timings at the checkpost. However, our premium taxis are available 24x7.
Booking is incredibly easy. Simply click the WhatsApp button on this page to message Anand directly, or call +91 94006 20615 for an instant confirmation.
