Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Kovalam
The car collects you from Panampilly Nagar, Kaloor, Willingdon Island or any hotel in the city. An Ernakulam South to Kovalam taxi is ideal for travellers arriving by train, and an Ernakulam to Kovalam taxi leaves straight from your home or office. Drivers confirm the resort's road access in advance. The Kochi to Kovalam via Alappuzha stretch is the first two hours, past the Aroor bridge and the long coastal straight to Alappuzha town. Drivers often suggest a short coffee break at Cherthala before the traffic builds. Cherthala also has clean restrooms for families. Beyond Haripad, the Kochi to Kovalam via Kollam section passes the Kollam bypass, which keeps the car out of the old town. From Kollam, the coast road carries on to Paripally and then Attingal, where the capital's suburbs begin. At Kazhakkoottam, near the Technopark IT campus, the car joins the Kovalam bypass and skirts Thiruvananthapuram altogether. The Kochi to Kovalam distance by road works out close to 215 km this way, saving almost an hour of city traffic. The last few kilometres drop down to the sea at Kovalam junction. A Kochi to Vizhinjam taxi continues 3 km further to the fishing harbour and new port, and a Kochi to Poovar taxi runs about 15 km south to the backwater island resorts.
