Train
Numerous trains run throughout Kerala, and are operated by Indian Railways. Over 300 trains connect India to Kerala, with long-distance trips from the largest cities such as Mumbai and Delhi. You can book a ticket online at http://www.indianrail.gov.in/ or simply walk up to any railways station and buy a ticket.
Bus
There are privatized bus companies as well as government run buses that connect neighboring states. Private companies offer more trip options, and are run by Kallada, Shama and KPN. For longer trips, we recommend you book a private bus, as the quality of buses for trips varies significantly. The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation is the most commonly used inter-state bus, and regularly as trips scheduled from Kerala to Mysore, Bangalore, and many other of the bigger cities as well as smaller towns.
Car
Kerala is easily reached by neighboring locations including Mumbai, Goa, and Karnataka via National Highways. Be warned that traffic is heavy and some highways have tolls.
Boat
Kochi is one of the largest ports in India, especially for cruise ships. Most global voyaging cruises include Kochi as one of their destinations. Occasional tourist cruises travel from Goa and Mumbai to Kochi. Private Yachts are often spotted at the Kochi Marina.
