Known as Kerala's prominent NRI residential belt, Thiruvalla, Kumbanad, and Kozhencherry are our daily service routes. Chauffeurs know every residential pocket, parish landmark, and hospital campus.
Returning home with heavy international baggage? Our Innova Crysta and Force Urbania fleets are equipped with spacious boots and overhead carriers to transport 5 to 15 suitcases safely without cramping passenger cabin room.

Central Travancore Intelligence
Dedicated airport transfer protocols for returning expatriate families, healthcare visits, and pilgrimage transit across Pathanamthitta district:
Pathanamthitta and Thiruvalla constitute Kerala’s premier NRI belt. Families regularly return from the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and North America landing at Cochin Airport Terminal 3 with four to eight heavy international suitcases plus cabin trolleys.
SAN Travels provides spacious MPVs—including our flagship Toyota Innova Crysta with customized roof luggage carriers or folded 3rd-row boot configurations, and Force Urbania luxury mini-vans—ensuring all family members and voluminous baggage travel together securely and comfortably.
Thiruvalla is home to two of South India’s most prestigious super-specialty medical institutions: Believers Church Medical College Hospital (BCMCH) and Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital. We provide sensitive, comfortable chauffeur transfers for medical arrivals, overseas patients, and convalescing seniors.
Our chauffeurs prioritize smooth driving dynamics, gentle deceleration, and full physical assistance with boarding, wheelchairs, and luggage handling at hospital reception or patient accommodation.
As the spiritual headquarters of the holy Sabarimala shrine, Pathanamthitta district is a vital transit corridor for millions of pilgrims. During the Mandala-Makaravilakku season and monthly pooja openings, travelers landing at Kochi Airport frequently combine ancestral visits in Thiruvalla, Mallappally, or Kozhencherry with temple visits.
We offer seamless outstation taxi continuity from CIAL directly through Thiruvalla, Pathanamthitta town, Vadasserikkara, and onward to Nilakkal / Pamba pilgrimage base camp with experienced ghat-road drivers.
Unlike standard app-based cabs that cancel or surcharge on journeys into rural Central Travancore panchayats, SAN Travels provides guaranteed doorstep service across all interior settlements in Pathanamthitta:
Arrival Procedure
Four smooth stages from touchdown at CIAL to comfortable doorstep arrival in Pathanamthitta:
Send your flight number, arrival date, destination town (Thiruvalla/Pathanamthitta/Adoor), and bag count via phone or WhatsApp. We lock in your vehicle and flat rate immediately.
Our operations desk in Nedumbassery monitors your inbound flight. If your flight touches down early or is delayed, chauffeur staging synchronizes seamlessly.
Exit Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 customs into the arrival canopy. Your assigned driver greets you holding a customized name placard and assists with loading your heavy baggage.
Relax in your sanitized, air-conditioned vehicle as we drive you south via MC Road, dropping your family safely at your home, ancestral residence, or hotel.
Guaranteed Return Transit
Catching an international flight or domestic connection from Cochin International Airport?
When concluding your vacation or family visit in Pathanamthitta, punctual departure timing to Cochin International Airport (CIAL) is non-negotiable. Traffic bottlenecks along Kottayam, Muvattupuzha, and Perumbavoor can add unexpected delays during daytime hours. SAN Travels provides guaranteed on-time doorstep departure pickups across all towns in Pathanamthitta district directly to CIAL departure gates.
We recommend scheduling your pickup at least 6.5 hours before international flights and 5.5 hours before domestic flights to account for the 3.5 to 4.0 hour drive and terminal check-in formalities. Your assigned driver arrives 15 minutes before your requested departure time, assists with loading your luggage, and delivers a stress-free journey right to the terminal departure canopy.
