Useful tips for bus travellers
• Be sure to check the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) schedule for the Thrissur to Kotamangalam service, as there is only one direct bus that departs daily, making it essential to plan your timing accordingly. You can find more information on their official site: KSRTC Official Website.
• Pack some snacks and water for the bus trip, as the journey takes approximately 2 hours, and while some local shops are near the bus station, they may not be open during your travel time.
• Upon arriving at Kotamangalam bus station, look out for directional signage to help you navigate the area. The station is smaller than Thrissur, so it's easy to find taxi or auto-rickshaw services waiting just outside the terminal for local transport. Make sure to have some small cash on hand for the fare!
