Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Munnar
Pickups run from Vyttila, Kakkanad, Kaloor, Fort Kochi and every other part of the city. An Ernakulam to Munnar taxi heads east through Pallikkara and Perumbavoor, while an Ernakulam South to Munnar taxi picks up travellers straight off the train. The driver confirms your resort location pin before leaving. The plains end at Kothamangalam, a busy market town and the usual breakfast stop. Beyond it, the road follows the Periyar valley and starts to rise, with rubber giving way to thick forest and small waterfalls after the monsoon. The Kochi to Munnar via Adimali route is the main road up. Adimali sits roughly halfway up the climb, with spice shops and cardamom stalls along the street. From here the air cools quickly and the first tea gardens appear on the slopes. The Kochi to Munnar distance by road is close to 125 km. Most resorts sit a little outside town, along the Mattupetty, Chithirapuram or Devikulam roads, and drivers know the steep private lanes that lead to them. Some lanes are too narrow for large vans, so we plan the right vehicle. A Kochi to Chinnakanal taxi continues about 20 km past Munnar to the quieter lake resorts near Anayirangal. It suits travellers who want calm over crowds. The drive there takes about 40 minutes.
No Return-Leg Charge
Point-to-Point and Round Trip Billing
A Kochi to Munnar one way taxi is billed point-to-point, so the empty drive back down is never your cost. A Kochi to Munnar round trip taxi keeps the car with you in the hills and covers the driver's stay. For the factors that move hill fares, read what affects Munnar taxi fares. If you'd like to stop at a spice garden or a roadside waterfall, mention it when booking. See how taxi fares are calculated in Kerala →
