Will the driver pick me up from my home in Madurai?
Yes, we provide doorstep pickup anywhere in Madurai — home, office, hotel, airport or railway station — and drop you at any address in Thekkady.
Is a one way taxi cheaper than a round trip from Madurai to Thekkady?

Which is better — taxi, bus or train from Madurai to Thekkady?
Buses and trains are cheaper for solo travellers, but a taxi picks you up at your door, leaves on your schedule, carries your luggage with you, and lets you stop en route. For families or 3-4 people travelling together, the per-person cost of a cab is usually comparable to bus or train tickets.
