Places to Visit in Kannur

St Angelo Fort and the Arakkal Museum
St Angelo Fort was built in 1505 by the first Portuguese viceroy, then held by the Dutch, sold to the Arakkal family, and finally taken by the British - a laterite triangle on a headland with a moat, bastions and a view over the Mappila Bay fishing harbour that is among the best in the city. Nearby, the Arakkal Museum occupies part of the palace of the Arakkal family, the only Muslim royal dynasty in Kerala, whose rulers held Kannur and the Lakshadweep islands. Visit both together in a morning. They tell the story of a coastline that was fought over by four European powers because of what grew inland.

Bangalore
Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.

Mysore
City of Palaces
The first three hours are the easiest of the day, on six-lane expressway that has transformed this stretch. Our drivers reach the pickup point fifteen minutes early and aim to be on the expressway before 6:15 AM, because on this route everything downstream depends on reaching the Nagarhole gate in good time. The towns are the most characterful on any road out of Bangalore. Ramanagara and its granite Sholay hills, still the largest silk cocoon market in Asia. Channapatna, where the lacquered toy lathes have turned for two centuries and where a twenty-minute stop is the single most requested addition on family bookings. Maddur and its vada. Mandya and the sugarcane country the Cauvery canals created. Mysore is where most groups take breakfast, and on this route it is also the last major city - after Hunsur the facilities thin out sharply, so it is the sensible place to eat properly rather than snack.

Hunsur
Timber and Tobacco Town of Mysore District
Forty-five kilometres north-west of Mysore on good two-lane road through farmland. Hunsur is a working market town built around timber, tobacco and the surrounding agricultural belt, and it also holds one of the larger Tibetan settlements in Karnataka at Bylakuppe nearby, though that lies off this particular line toward Kushalnagar. For this journey Hunsur matters as the decision point and the last reliable service stop before the forest. From here the road turns south-west toward the Nagarhole gate, and beyond that there is essentially nothing until Kutta - no fuel worth relying on, limited food, and patchy mobile coverage through the forest stretch. Our drivers fill up here as standing practice regardless of what the gauge says, and this is also where they confirm the schedule against the 6:00 PM gate closure.

Nagarhole
Rajiv Gandhi National Park
The road enters Nagarhole and runs roughly thirty kilometres through protected forest, part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and one of the finest wildlife habitats in the country. Elephant, gaur, spotted deer and langur are commonly seen from the road, and tiger and leopard are present though rarely visible. Speed breakers are frequent and speed limits are enforced. Two rules matter here. Traffic through the Nagarhole stretch is not permitted between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM, and two-wheelers are barred from this forest road entirely. There is no discretion at the gate. Road surface through and immediately after this section has historically been variable and is worth checking rather than assuming. Kutta, just past the exit gate, is the last Karnataka settlement and the only place between Hunsur and Mananthavady with water, food and toilets, so it is the natural short break even though most travellers would rather press on.

Mananthavady
Northern Capital of Wayanad
The Kerala border comes shortly after Kutta and the change is immediate - wider road, more traffic, and the dense evergreen character of the Wayanad plateau. Tholpetty, the northern range of the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, is the first attraction on this side and safari jeeps cluster along the roadside here. Kattikulam follows, with the turn for Kuruva Island a few kilometres off the highway - a cluster of uninhabited river islands on the Kabini, reached by raft, and worth a half day if the itinerary allows. Mananthavady is the northern capital of Wayanad and the point where all the routes from Karnataka converge before the descent. It holds the tomb of Pazhassi Raja, the Kottayam ruler who led a guerrilla campaign against the East India Company across these forests for more than a decade before his death in 1805 - a significant figure in Kerala history and commemorated with a memorial and museum. It is also the last town of any size before the ghat, and a sensible place to stop.

Thalassery
Birthplace of the Indian Circus.
The Periya ghat carries the road off the Wayanad plateau down into Kannur district through forest, in a sequence of curves and a few genuinely sharp bends. It is a gentler descent than the Thamarassery churam on the Kozhikode road and generally less congested, but it is still a ghat and our drivers take it at a measured pace, in daylight wherever the schedule allows. The temperature climbs noticeably on the way down and the vegetation shifts from plateau forest to coastal Malabar within twenty minutes. At the bottom the road runs through Iritty and Koothuparamba toward the coast. Thalassery, when you reach it, deserves more than a pass-through: this small town gave India its circus tradition, hosted some of the earliest cricket played in the country, and produced the biryani that is the benchmark for the whole state. Thalassery Fort dates from 1708 and Overbury Folly gives a view over the town and sea. If you time the day to eat lunch here rather than in Kannur, you will have made the right decision.

Kannur
Land of Looms and Lore
The last twenty kilometres run north along the coast, passing Muzhappilangad and Dharmadam Island on the way, with the sea intermittently visible to the west. This is a densely settled coastal strip rather than open road, and progress is steady rather than fast. Kannur was the seat of the Kolathiri rajas and later the Arakkal dynasty, the only Muslim royal family in Kerala, and it was fought over by the Portuguese, Dutch, French and British in turn because of the pepper trade that came down from the hills behind it. Today it is a working coastal city known for its handlooms, its beaches and above all for Theyyam. Our driver takes you to the confirmed address and assists with luggage. For Kannur International Airport at Mattannur, note it sits inland roughly thirty kilometres east of the city, back toward the direction you came from, so airport drops are quicker than the city map suggests.

Our Trusted Clients










Cab Packages for Every Traveller
Every quotation is built around what you actually need rather than a fixed menu. The four tiers below describe how we typically structure car booking enquiries on this corridor.
Family Cab Package
The dominant booking type here - families travelling to north Malabar for functions and visits, and families combining Wayanad with a few days on the Kannur coast. Innova and Innova Crysta are the usual choice, with the luggage capacity an eight-hour run demands. We plan family journeys around the forest gate rather than around distance, since a late departure removes the shortest road from the options. A Channapatna toy stop on the outbound leg costs twenty minutes and is the most requested addition. Child seats can be arranged with notice, and drivers on family bookings are selected for patience with the extended halts a long day needs.
Theyyam and Cultural Cab Package
A genuinely distinct booking type on this route. Theyyam performances run at village shrines through the season from roughly December to April, and they are local events rather than ticketed shows - schedules are set kavu by kavu and are not centrally published, performances usually run through the night, and the locations are often small villages rather than named attractions. We arrange transport around whatever schedule you have confirmed locally, including the overnight running that Theyyam frequently involves, and our drivers know the district well enough to find shrines that a navigation app will not. Tell us your dates as early as you can, because the good season fills.
Budget Cab Package
For solo travellers, couples and anyone whose priority is the lowest defensible one-way figure. A sedan on a direct drop is the most economical way to make this journey by car, and it is competitive against a train plus local transfer once door-to-door convenience is counted. Budget here means a sedan and a direct itinerary; it does not mean an older vehicle or a less experienced driver, since fleet and driver standards are identical across tiers. One caveat specific to this route: if road surface reports on the Nagarhole section are poor, an SUV is the more sensible choice and we will say so at the quotation stage.
Premium and Luxury Cab Package
For executive travel, guest hosting and travellers who want the day to be comfortable rather than merely completed. This tier covers our premium car rentals in bangalore range and the innova hycross rent bangalore fleet, alongside our luxury car rental bangalore options. On a route that combines expressway, a variable-surface forest road and a ghat descent, suspension and ground clearance are functional considerations rather than cosmetic ones, and this is the tier we most often recommend for travellers with older passengers.
Fare Inclusions, Exclusions and Advance Payment
Every Tejas Tours and Travels quotation for the Bangalore to Kannur corridor is issued in writing with the structure below. Nothing outside this list is charged, and everything inside it is stated before you confirm.
Advance payment: 20 percent of the total fare is payable in advance to confirm the booking.
Included in the Quoted Fare
1. Base fare and fuel charges
2. Driver allowance
Not Included in the Quoted Fare
3. Toll and parking charges
4. Interstate tax and permit charges
5. Driver bata after 9:45 PM, charged extra
6. Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage
7. GST
Insurance note: Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passenger insurance. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel cover where required. Vehicles carry the statutory motor insurance required under law.
Three points matter on this route. First, the Kerala interstate permit and entry charges are quoted as a separate line at actual rather than folded into the base fare, and we arrange the permit in advance so nothing is held up at the border. Second, if the routing changes on the day - a poor road report on the Nagarhole section, or a late departure that forces the longer Gundlupet line - the additional kilometres are billed at the pre-agreed per-kilometre rate, and we will tell you the likely difference between routes at the quotation stage. Third, the driver bata clause after 9:45 PM applies as normal, and it is worth noting for Theyyam bookings in particular, since performances routinely run through the night and the vehicle is with you for it.

How to Book a Car for Rent in Bangalore — Step-by-Step
Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |

What Our Customers Say About Our Cab Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Kannur Cab
The bangalore to kannur distance is around 320 to 340 km via Mysore, Hunsur, Nagarhole, Kutta, Mananthavady and the Periya ghat, which is the shortest line. The Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery route runs longer at roughly 360 to 380 km. Either takes 7 to 8 hours 30 minutes with one proper halt. The Bangalore to Mysore stretch is fast; everything after Hunsur is slower than the map suggests because of forest limits, variable road surface and the ghat descent.
The Nagarhole route is the shortest and the most attractive drive, but traffic through the forest stretch is not permitted between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM, and two-wheelers are barred entirely. Road surface between Hunsur and the Kerala border has historically been variable and is worth checking rather than assuming. For late departures, poor surface reports, or itineraries that include Wayanad anyway, we use the longer Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery route, which has its own Bandipur night closure from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. We confirm which road we are taking before you travel.
It is the descent from the Wayanad plateau into Kannur district, winding through forest with a number of curves and a few genuinely sharp bends. It is considerably gentler than the Thamarassery churam on the Kozhikode road and usually less congested, but it is still a ghat and not somewhere to be driving after dark on an unfamiliar road. There is a third route into Kannur through Kottiyoor and the Palchuram section that is markedly steeper, and drivers experienced on this corridor generally avoid it - we do not use it without a specific reason.
A sedan starts at Rs 9,920. Round-trip and Wayanad-combined itineraries are quoted on vehicle and plan, and Innova and premium SUV rates are quoted separately. Every quote itemizes base fare, driver allowance, toll estimate, the Kerala interstate permit and GST separately, and is sent in writing within two hours. If the routing changes on the day, the additional kilometres are billed at the pre-agreed rate.
A 20 percent advance on the total fare confirms your booking and holds the specific vehicle for your date. The advance receipt is issued within 30 minutes, and your confirmation includes the driver name, mobile number, vehicle registration, departure time and the full billing breakdown in writing. For the Theyyam season, Onam and long weekends, a higher advance may be requested.
Included: base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Not included: toll and parking, interstate tax and permit charges, driver bata after 9:45 PM, and GST. The Kerala interstate permit is quoted as its own line at actual. The final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. The late-night bata clause is worth noting for Theyyam bookings, since performances routinely run through the night.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passenger insurance. Our vehicles carry the statutory motor insurance required under law and our drivers hold valid commercial licences, but passengers wanting personal travel cover should arrange it independently. On a route through forest country with a ghat descent we recommend it more strongly than on ordinary highway trips.
The main season runs roughly from December to April, though the Parassinikkadavu Muthappan Temple performs Theyyam daily through the year and is the reliable option outside the season. Performances at village shrines are local events rather than ticketed shows - schedules are set kavu by kavu, are not centrally published, and usually run through the night. We arrange transport around whatever schedule you confirm locally, including overnight running, and our drivers know the district well enough to reach shrines a navigation app will not find. Book early; the good weeks fill.
Yes, and both work well because they sit on the road rather than off it. Wayanad is directly on the route - breaking the journey at Mananthavady or Kalpetta removes the pressure of doing the forest gate and the ghat in one day, and puts Kuruva Island, Tholpetty and Edakkal within reach. Coorg is reachable through Kutta on the Nagarhole line, which makes a Coorg, Wayanad and Kannur circuit genuinely efficient. Tell us at the quotation stage so the kilometres and the gate timings are planned in.
October to March for weather, and December to April if Theyyam is the reason for the trip - the two overlap conveniently. June to September is the southwest monsoon, when Malabar takes very heavy rainfall, the ghat sections are at their most demanding, and Theyyam is largely out of season. The beaches are at their best from November onward, and Muzhappilangad in particular depends on tide and sand conditions that are far more reliable outside the monsoon.
