Kochi to Alleppey by Cab — Why It Works
Kochi to Alleppey is one of the shortest and most popular transfers in Kerala. The NH 66 coastal highway passes through Cherthala and Aroor — both gateway towns to the backwaters — giving you glimpses of canals and coconut-fringed waterways even before you arrive. Most travellers do this route as a one-way transfer to board a houseboat for the night. Our cab drops you directly at the houseboat jetty or your hotel in Alleppey town.

Driving Tips
- Houseboats check in at noon and check out at 9 am — plan your arrival accordingly.
- The NH 66 stretch near Cherthala can slow down on weekends — allow an extra 30 minutes.
- If combining with Munnar (popular circuit), do Kochi → Munnar first, then Munnar → Alleppey.
