Kottayam Railway Station (KTYM) — A Hub for All of Kerala
Kottayam Railway Station, station code KTYM, handles over 12,000 passengers daily. Located in Nagampadam, Kottayam, it is a key junction on the Ernakulam–Thiruvananthapuram line and connects Kottayam to Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and all major Indian cities. Out-of-state travellers — particularly Sabarimala pilgrims from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Telangana — make KTYM one of Kerala's busiest intercity transit hubs.
Why Passengers Need a Reliable Taxi at KTYM
The auto-rickshaws outside Kottayam station are fine for short city hops but unsuitable for airport runs, pilgrimage routes, or outstation trips.
