Periyar Cabs was a fantastic experience. Shaji drove us from Thekkady to Marari Beach and explained everything on the way - from how rubber is tapped to the elevation needed for everything grown on our route. It was like having a private guide. He drove safely and was kind and thoughtful. And we stopped somewhere nice for tea. We highly recommend Periyar Cabs, he made the journey enjoyable and it was great value.

I received Periyar Cabs phone number from Poetree Resort where we had booked the stay. Its the transport that can make or break your vacation and it is so rare to find such professionalism in this industry. Mr. Paul was fantastic right from the first call and he addressed all our anxieties in the Covid situation and planned our pickup and local transport at Thekkady perfectly. We had booked an Innova for pick up and drop at the Kochi airport but he suggested that we keep the vehicle for the entire tour for a very small price. This worked out best as we had a vehicle at our disposal.
He had perfectly planned our trip and and given instructions to the driver and ensured that we were completely taken care off. He also messaged every day and called to enquire how our trip was coming about.
We were greeted by the super informative cheerful and excellent photographer Sanjeev who was our driving partner for the trip with his clean and sanitized vehicle and only thanks to him we could see Thekkady brilliantly. He gauged our travel attitude and suggested places that we could visit and experience. He was a mountain of information who can speak about everything and that too in an interesting manner. He spoke about agriculture and native trees of Kerala and the pineapple trade where the best quality pineapples are exported. He in fact stopped enroute where a truck was being loaded with pineapples for export and got one for us. Turned out to be amazing. He exactly knew where to stop and what to pick up.
The jeep Safari driving partner Babu was an amazing guy driving a 4X4 jeep in Chatram and showed us around.
In summary look no further when you are are Thekkady Paul's Periyar Cabs is one stop shop. And when you get all these great experiences and that too at a very reasonable cost then you are spoilt for choice.

We use Periyar Cabs twice, for long journeys (Kollam to Periyar then Periyar to Madurai). Each time, the driver was right in time and drove us , at a reasonable pace, to our destination. The fares were (after some discussions) also reasonable compared to what we then heard from some other (maybe less patient) tourists. Paul, who runs this business, is welcoming and efficient.

Great experience with our driver Tomy. We had a very comfortable ride over a couple of days, with information along the way. Also a great price compared to some quotes we received. We felt very safe, and all details were able to be booked and confirmed simply and in advance. Would recommend.

We took Border Jeep Safari which was worth the price being very economical. Our Driver Phillip was very helpful and kind. He knew the area very well and also helped us capture some memorable moments on our gadgets.We would surely recommend to use Periyar Cabs service.

We visited thekkady on December 10-12, 2023. As our trip was not preplanned, we haven't booked a full trip cab. So we requested our homestay owner to arrange one for us. He arranged it through Periyar cabs. We used the vehicle for local sight seeing on 11 December and were so impressed with the driving skills and communication of the Driver Mr. Biju that we hired him immediately for our next day transfer to our next destination Athirapally. Mr. Biju dropped us very safely there driving 7 hours continuously.
Key points;
1. Car was very neat, clean and spacious.
2. Driver Mr. Biju was fluent in English.
3. He was very skilled and safe Driver.

I'm happy to share my experience with this travel/ taxi service provider. Recently I traveled to Thekkady and spent valuable time with my family. When I wanted to return to my native on the day of onam. I was worried that taxi services won't be available on that day.even if it's available ,I was worried about the safety and covid concern.specialy the travel sickness(continuous vomiting) my family members experienced while traveling to Thekkady .but when I enquired to this taxi provider .they well understood my concerns and arranged a taxi to return to my native place. They came ontime as mentioned and more over the (driver) brother took utmost care to avoid travel sickness and helped alot when they experienced it like a family member. We were able to reach home on time and able to celebrate onam in native place. I must thank them for the service they provided in professional and friendly way.
Cost- they charged regular govt guided price and didn't charged anything extra ,even on the day of onam .
Driver- fully vaccinated and used mask all time.
Friendly and professional way of behaviour.
Hence , I suggest everyone to make use of their service in and around Thekkady. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you Periyar cabs.

Any idea how long it would take from thekkady to cochin airport?
Written 4 May 2019
5 + hours. Would recommend visiting Vagamon and then go to thekkady the next day.

How much does Periyar Can collect for sightseeing in Thekkady?
Written 18 October 2018
Depends. For us, he did offer a great package and we found it much reasonable compared to our other trips we have been doing in past few years. I really liked the personal connection the owner made by following up regularly after the trip for feedback and helping with all arrangements even on our short notice requests.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
