Force Urbania from Kochi to Wayanad
Avancer runs Force Urbania vans on the Kochi to Wayanad route — a favourite for college groups, families, and friends heading to the hill station's forests, waterfalls, and viewpoints. The drive covers roughly 280 km and takes about 6 hours, climbing the famous Thamarassery ghat with its nine hairpin bends. The Urbania moves 10 to 16 people in one cabin with pushback seats, individual AC, a stereo, and luggage room for a multi-day stay.
We pick up anywhere in Kochi — Ernakulam, Edapally, Kakkanad, and Cochin airport — with rates from ₹6,500/day. For the full rate card see our Urbania rental price page, or browse the statewide Urbania rental in Kerala overview.
Why the Urbania Suits the Wayanad Route
Thamarassery Ghat: The nine-hairpin climb is handled smoothly by the Urbania's car-like steering and turning radius.
College Groups: One 16-seater keeps the whole batch together for the 6-hour journey — ideal for college and friends trips.
Stereo & USB: Music system and charging ports keep a young group entertained on the long ride.
Forest Roads: Compact dimensions manage Wayanad's narrow estate and sanctuary approach roads with ease.
