 Kochi to Munnar 

What is best way to go from Kochi to Munnar - Cab or are there any Coach service (I am not looking for KSRTC bus)

Will it be economical to hire end to end i.e. Kochi - Munnar - Kochi or just drop and pick up.

Our plan is as follows:

22 Jan 2012 09:30 AM : Start for Munnar

Travel to Munnar via Kodanadu-Athirapally and any other sightseeing places

22 Jan 2012 (Evening): Reach Munnar Hotel

23 Jan 2012 (Day) : Local sightseeing – Most of the things are organized by the hotel

24 Jan 2012 08:00 AM : Start for Kochi

Travel to Kochi covering any sightseeing places

24 Jan 2012 Evening : Reach Kochi

Ours is a small family (2 Adults, 1 Child and 1 Kid).

We already have hotel bookings.

All suggestions are welcome.

We used a car booked through I love Kerala tour company. Let me warn you ahead of time, the road to Munnar is curvy and will make the most seasoned traveler sick!! It's got lots of twists and turns and takes about 4-4 1/2 hours to get up there.

If you haven't already book a houseboat, it will be a wonderful family experience, you can go for the day or overnight.

If you haven't seen the tea plantations try to get up and into them. The tea museum in Munnar is quite interesting if you want to know how tea is made and how it came to be in Munnar.

So much more relaxing going by private car than the bus. You can stop at interesting places along the way (en route we visited the elephant washing, spice plantation, elephant orphanage with a ride through the peaceful forest, vantage points to see the tea pickers, tea factory (over rated) and ending up in Munnar town for a late lunch and wander around). On the return journey the following day we went upto the highest point and stopped at the waterfall and a Toddy shop. The driver was very informative and for us it was definately the best way to see everything.

You are selected a proper time scheduling for you trip to Munnar.You can surely make this a wonderfull and joyfull journey .

For that I suggest you must hire a cab from a good travel agency for your entire trip. It will be more useful to You. I don't think that it is a good choice of selecting a end-to-end drop and pick up. It will not give you a good satisfaction. If you hire a taxi You can make up your time scheduling as you wish. You can check the the rates of hiring cabs from cochin through online. You can select the appropriate cab for your comfort travel and affordable rates.

Here I can give you the details of cabs and their kilometer wise rates then you can select the way of travel. http://www.rentacarkerala.org
