The Kochi to Thekkady Wildlife & Spice Drive
The Kochi to Thekkady drive takes you from the bustling port city into the Cardamom Hills of the Western Ghats. The route passes through Kothamangalam and Thodupuzha before climbing into the spice-growing region around Kumily and Thekkady. The landscape transforms from urban to rural to mountainous over the course of five hours.
Thekkady is home to the Periyar Tiger Reserve — one of India's best-managed wildlife sanctuaries. The Periyar boat ride, spice plantation tours, bamboo rafting and jungle trekking draw hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Our drivers drop you right at the Periyar jetty or your resort.
Many tourists fly into Cochin International Airport and head directly to Thekkady. Our airport pickup service includes flight tracking, name-board reception and a comfortable drive through the hills with an experienced driver who knows every turn.
