Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Coorg
Your trip can start from a Kochi flat, a Fort Kochi homestay or a hotel near MG Road. An Ernakulam to Coorg taxi heads north through Kodungallur, and a Cochin Airport to Coorg taxi joins the coast road a little later. Either way, the first half follows NH 66 past Kozhikode. The Kochi to Coorg via Kannur route stays on the coast until Thalassery, then turns inland toward Iritty. Coconut palms give way to rubber and pepper. After Iritty, the Makkootam ghat climbs steeply through thick forest into Karnataka. At the Makkootam check post, the driver pays the Karnataka entry permit. A Kochi to Virajpet taxi reaches its drop about 30 minutes later, among coffee and cardamom estates. Madikeri, the main town, is a further 45 minutes on a ridge road. The Kochi to Coorg distance by road is close to 370 km on this route. A Kochi to Kushalnagar taxi carries on another 30 km past Madikeri, toward the Golden Temple at Bylakuppe and the Dubare elephant camp. Drivers call your host ahead, since many estates sit on unmarked roads. Some guests prefer the Kochi to Coorg via Wayanad road through Mananthavady and Kutta. It suits travellers who want a night in Wayanad on the way. Both routes take roughly the same time.
No Return-Leg Charge
Point-to-Point and Round Trip Billing
A Kochi to Coorg one way taxi is billed point-to-point, so the empty drive back to Kochi is not your cost. A Kochi to Coorg round trip taxi keeps the same car and driver with you in Coorg, covering their stay for each night. Stops at a spice shop, a beach or a viewpoint can be added when you book.
