Trips from Kochi

Kochi is the starting point of most Kerala circuits: Alleppey's backwaters are about 1.5 hours south, Munnar about 4 hours up the ghat, and Thekkady about 4 to 5 hours. Kanyakumari and Ooty make longer road trips.

Kochi's airport has flights to the metros and non-stop flights to the Gulf, so Dubai is one of the easiest international trips from here.

Getting the group there: Inside Kerala, a private cab or Tempo Traveller from Kochi covers Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey in one loop. For longer trips we combine trains or flights with a cab at the other end.
