Kerala Ground Handling Services
Transport, stays, guides, and permits, run by a team based here
Ground handling is the part of a Kerala itinerary that's hardest to manage remotely: chasing hotel confirmations, briefing drivers on a changed pickup time, or getting a wildlife-reserve permit sorted before a jeep safari slot closes. We run this end for operators and agents who've already sold the trip and need someone local to make sure it happens as planned.
That includes private vehicles and drivers, hotel and houseboat coordination, English or regional-language guides, and the permits Kerala's wildlife reserves and some heritage sites require. If something changes mid-trip, whoever's travelling has a local number to call, not a call centre in another time zone.

Frequently asked questions
Can you handle ground services for a group we're bringing in, without booking through you?
Yes, ground handling can be booked as a standalone service against your existing itinerary and hotel bookings. We'll still want the route and hotel list in advance so vehicles and guides are briefed correctly.
Do you provide a single point of contact during the trip?
Yes, every group or FIT booking gets one local contact reachable by phone or WhatsApp for the duration of the trip, so changes don't have to go through multiple people.
What permits do you handle?
Most commonly wildlife reserve entry permits (Periyar, Wayanad) and safari slot bookings, plus access arrangements for certain heritage and religious sites that require advance clearance.
