Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Mangalore
The car picks you up from Kaloor, Palarivattom, Fort Kochi or anywhere else in the city. An Ernakulam to Mangalore taxi turns north at Edappally, while a Cochin Airport to Mangalore taxi reaches the coast road through Paravur. The driver confirms your Mangalore address and landmarks before leaving. The first half runs through Kodungallur, Ponnani and Kozhikode, Kerala's old spice-trading towns. After Kozhikode, the Kochi to Mangalore via Kannur road passes Thalassery and Kannur. Muzhappilangad, a long beach where cars can drive on the sand, lies just off the highway. North of Kannur, the coast grows quieter. A Kochi to Kasaragod taxi ends near the state's northern tip, and a Kochi to Bekal Fort taxi stops at the large 17th-century fort overlooking the sea. The fort's grounds open in the morning and close around sunset. The car enters Karnataka at Talapady, where your driver pays the entry permit. It usually takes about ten minutes. Mangaluru begins about 15 km later. The Kochi to Mangalore distance by road is close to 410 km. Drops include Hampankatta, Kadri, Bejai, the railway stations and the medical colleges around Kankanady and Attavar. A Kochi to Mangalore airport taxi goes on to Bajpe, about 20 km north-east of the centre. Traffic in central Mangaluru is heavy between 5 and 7 pm.
No Return-Leg Charge
Point-to-Point and Round Trip Billing
