Places to Visit in Kannur

St Angelo Fort and the Arakkal Museum

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.

Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach

Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach

Around fifteen kilometres south of the city, this is the longest drive-in beach in Asia - roughly four kilometres of firm black sand on which vehicles are permitted to drive, with a natural rock barrier that keeps the water calm enough for swimming along much of it. It has appeared on international lists of the best beaches to drive on. Visit in the late afternoon into sunset, which is when it is at its best and busiest. Driving conditions depend entirely on the tide and the sand, and stretches can be soft, so follow local direction on where to enter and do not take a vehicle onto the sand without checking.

Payyambalam Beach and Ezhimala

Payyambalam Beach and Ezhimala

Payyambalam is the main city beach, a long clean stretch with a landscaped garden and a large sculpture of a mother and child by the artist Kanayi Kunhiraman, and it is where Kannur goes in the evening. Ezhimala, around fifty-five kilometres north, is a cluster of hills rising straight out of the sea with a beach at their foot - it holds the Indian Naval Academy, so access to parts is restricted, but the setting is extraordinary and there are medicinal herbs on the slopes with a long local reputation. Visit Payyambalam for an easy evening and Ezhimala as a half-day drive up a genuinely beautiful stretch of coast.

Parassinikkadavu and Theyyam

Parassinikkadavu and Theyyam

The Parassinikkadavu Muthappan Temple on the Valapattanam river is unusual in that Theyyam is performed here daily rather than seasonally, which makes it the one reliable place to see the art form outside the main season. Theyyam itself is a ritual performance in which the costumed performer, drawn largely from specific communities, is understood to become the deity and is addressed as such - elaborate headdresses, face painting, fire and drumming, staged at village shrines usually through the night. The main season runs roughly December to April. If Theyyam is your reason for coming, tell us your dates and we will plan around the kavu schedules, which are local and not centrally published.

Thalassery - Circus, Cricket and Biryani

Thalassery - Circus, Cricket and Biryani

Twenty kilometres south, Thalassery is a town with an improbable number of firsts. The Indian circus tradition began here, when Keeleri Kunhikannan started training performers in the late nineteenth century, and the town supplied circus artists across the country for generations. Cricket is said to have been first played in India here by British traders. And Thalassery biryani - short-grain kaima rice, distinct spicing, cooked separately and layered - is the most celebrated of Kerala biryanis. There is also Thalassery Fort from 1708 and Overbury Folly, a hilltop viewpoint. Visit for the food alone if nothing else; a meal here is a legitimate reason to break the journey.

The Kannur Handlooms

The Kannur Handlooms

Kannur is one of the major handloom centres of India, with weaving cooperatives around Kanhirode and elsewhere in the district producing furnishing fabric, bed linen and shirting supplied nationally and exported. The looms are worked in cooperative sheds rather than tourist showrooms, and visiting one is a genuinely interesting hour - the scale of a working handloom shed with dozens of looms running at once is not what most visitors expect. Ask us to arrange it at booking, since it is not a signposted attraction. Buying directly is both cheaper and more interesting than a retail outlet, and it is the most characteristic thing you can take home from this district.

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.

Quick Booking for Hire: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your vehicle preference, Bangalore pickup location, destination, and travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.

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.
