Hello! I am Anand. When you book your transfer from Kochi Airport to Thattekad Bird Sanctuary with us, you aren't just getting a cab; you are securing a private, English-speaking local expert.
This specific route features state highways followed by narrow, scenic forest roads. Having navigated these Kerala roads for years, my team and I know exactly how to handle them safely. We highly recommend a Swift Dzire or Ertiga for a smooth and quiet forest drive for your comfort.
Don't rush the journey! If you have time, ask your driver to stop at Perumbavoor and Kothamangalam to experience the true beauty of Kerala along the way.
The total distance is approximately 45 km. By private taxi, the scenic journey takes around 1.5 Hours.
Because this route features state highways followed by narrow, scenic forest roads, we highly recommend booking a Swift Dzire or Ertiga for a smooth and quiet forest drive 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 Perumbavoor and Kothamangalam, for photos and refreshments.
Absolutely. We provide a premium door-to-door service directly to Thattekad Sanctuary Entrance or local eco-lodges or right into your resort lobby.
For the best views and least traffic, we recommend starting this journey Very early morning to catch the birds during their most active feeding hours. However, our premium taxis are available 24x7.
