About this transfer

Thekkady, home to the Periyar Tiger Reserve, sits about 140 kilometres east of Cochin International Airport in Kerala's spice-growing hills. B2 Travel & Tours runs comfortable, chauffeur-driven taxis for the roughly four-hour journey, climbing through Kottayam and the cardamom plantations of Kumily to the edge of the forest.

It is a long, beautiful drive, so we pair you with an experienced hill driver and a well-maintained vehicle, and we are happy to build in a lunch or plantation stop along the way. Fares are fixed and agreed up front — no meters, no surprises.
