Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Kanyakumari
Pickups run from Edappally, Kakkanad, Panampilly Nagar and every other part of the city. An Ernakulam to Kanyakumari taxi turns south at Vyttila, and a Cochin Airport to Kanyakumari taxi adds about 45 minutes through the city first. The driver confirms your hotel details before setting off. The first leg runs past Alappuzha and Kayamkulam, with canals and paddy fields on both sides. Kollam, about 140 km out, is a good breakfast stop by Ashtamudi Lake. The Kochi to Kanyakumari via Trivandrum route then uses the city bypass, skipping central traffic. Beyond Neyyattinkara, the road crosses into Tamil Nadu near Parassala. Your driver pays the state permit at the check post, which usually takes a few minutes. Within an hour, the landscape turns drier, with wind farms and palmyra palms. At Thuckalay, the 16th-century Padmanabhapuram Palace sits beside the highway. A Kochi to Padmanabhapuram Palace taxi can stop here for an hour; note that the palace is closed on Mondays. A Kochi to Nagercoil taxi ends about 20 km before the cape. The Kochi to Kanyakumari distance by road is close to 300 km. Drops include the beach road hotels, the Kumari Amman Temple and the ferry jetty for the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar Statue. Many guests also visit Gandhi Mandapam, a short walk from the shore.
No Return-Leg Charge
Point-to-Point and Round Trip Billing
