Hello! I am Anand. When you book your transfer from Kochi Airport to Ooty (Udhagamandalam) with us, you aren't just getting a cab; you are securing a private, English-speaking local expert.
This specific route features long highways followed by 36 steep hairpin bends up the Nilgiri Hills. 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 safety and power on the steep Ghat roads for your comfort.
Don't rush the journey! If you have time, ask your driver to stop at Thrissur bypass, Coimbatore bypass, and Mettupalayam to experience the true beauty of Kerala along the way.
The total distance is approximately 250 km. By private taxi, the scenic journey takes around 7.0 Hours.
Because this route features long highways followed by 36 steep hairpin bends up the Nilgiri Hills, we highly recommend booking a Toyota Innova Crysta for safety and power on the steep Ghat roads 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 Thrissur bypass, Coimbatore bypass, and Mettupalayam, for photos and refreshments.
Absolutely. We provide a premium door-to-door service directly to Ooty Town Center, Charing Cross, or your resort or right into your resort lobby.
