Our Heritage: Krishna Group & Driver Excellence
Krishna Tours and Travels — Operating under Krishna Group, building on 18+ years of driver training excellence established by Krishna Driving School (Est. 2007). Founded by Shree Vinu Edathodikayil, we are one of Kozhikode's most respected tourist cab and long-distance taxi operators.
1. Our Operating Scope & Services
Krishna Tours and Travels operates strictly under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Kerala Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 governing Contract Carriage (Tourist Vehicle) operations. Every journey is a pre-scheduled, private cab hire with an experienced driver:
- Calicut International Airport (CCJ) Transfers: Flight-monitored pickups and drops with zero waiting surcharges for delayed flights. Dedicated name-board pickup at arrival gates.
- Wayanad Ghats Tour & Sightseeing: Experienced drivers specially trained to navigate the 9 hairpin curves of Thamarassery Churam safely.
- Outstation Intercity Travel: Comfortable family long-distance travel to Bangalore, Mysore, Ooty, Coimbatore, and Mangalore.
- Academic & Corporate Campus Transit: Regular scheduled transfers serving professors, scholars, and guests of NIT Calicut (Kattangal) and IIM Kozhikode (Kunnamangalam).
Clear Service Boundary: We do NOT operate local street-hail micro meter rides (such as 2 km city auto runs) and we do NOT offer self-drive rentals. Every trip is an exclusive private hire with an experienced driver.
🛡️ Drivers Trained at Our Own Driving School
What sets Krishna Tours and Travels apart is our sister concern: Krishna Driving School (Unit 1, established 2007, Krishna Driving School (Est. 2007)), also based in Manassery, Mukkam. Every driver in our commercial fleet undergoes defensive driving training, hill-tract curve safety, and police background clearance before serving passengers.
