Kochi Taxi Guide

Thekkady Taxi Travel Guide from Kochi

Thekkady, home to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, is a common addition to a Kerala hill-station itinerary, often paired with Munnar for a longer loop.

From Kochi, the drive covers roughly 160-180 kilometres and takes about four to five hours, passing through spice plantation country as you climb toward the sanctuary.

Many visitors combine Thekkady with Munnar in one trip, since the two are connected by a scenic hill road - check if your taxi package covers both legs.

Early morning is the best time for wildlife activity in Periyar, so an evening arrival the day before works well if you're planning a sanctuary visit.

An Innova Crysta or SUV handles the hill roads comfortably; for larger groups, a Tempo Traveller works if the trip includes multiple families.

• Practical tip - Book your Periyar boat safari or trek in advance if visiting during peak season - slots fill up quickly and your driver can help time the pickup around it.
