Top Rated Bus & Car Rental Services
Kozhikode Beach
The city's evening meeting place. The long promenade fills at sunset with families, and two old piers built in the 19th century, now in ruins, run out into the sea and give kozhikode beach its familiar outline. The stalls here are the best introduction to Malabar snacks: uppilittathu, fruit and vegetables pickled in salted brine, fried mussels and glasses of sulaimani tea. Go after 5 PM for the sunset.

Kappad Beach
About 18 kilometres north, kappad beach is where Vasco da Gama came ashore in May 1498, opening the sea route from Europe to India. A small stone memorial marks the landing. Kappad earned international Blue Flag certification for cleanliness and safety in 2020, and the rocky outcrop at one end is a calm place to watch the waves.
SM Street (Mittai Theruvu)
Sweet Meat Street, the city's old market, takes its name from the halwa shops that lined it in British times. Kozhikodan halwa, made from wheat, jaggery and coconut oil in dozens of colours and flavours, is what every visitor carries home, along with banana chips fried fresh in coconut oil. The street is pedestrianised and busiest in the evening.
Mananchira Square and Tali Shiva Temple
Mananchira is a large freshwater tank built by a Zamorin ruler, now surrounded by a landscaped park and heritage buildings, and it is the calm centre of the old city. A short drive away, the Tali Shiva Temple was the Zamorins' own temple and the venue of the Revathi Pattathanam, a centuries-old assembly where scholars debated and were honoured. Its copper-roofed sanctum and wooden carvings reward a quiet visit; traditional dress is expected.
Kuttichira and Mishkal Mosque
Kuttichira is the old Muslim quarter, built around a large pond and lined with tharavads, traditional joint-family homes. Its landmark is the Mishkal Mosque, a 14th-century multi-storey wooden mosque built by the Arab merchant Nakhuda Mishkal, which looks more like a Kerala temple than a Middle Eastern mosque. It was partly burned in a Portuguese raid in 1510 and later restored. Dress modestly and check visiting hours before entering.
Beypore
About 10 kilometres south, at the mouth of the Chaliyar river, Beypore has built wooden ships called uru for well over a thousand years, supplying traders across the Indian Ocean. Some yards still build them by hand without drawings, and watching the craftsmen is unforgettable. The beach and the long breakwater are a favourite sunset walk, and the town is closely linked with the writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, who made his home here.
Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary
About 19 kilometres south, where the Kadalundi river meets the Arabian Sea, this estuary of mangrove islands is a community reserve and one of the best birdwatching spots in north Kerala. Between November and April it fills with migratory terns, gulls, herons and sandpipers. Early morning brings the best sightings.
Thusharagiri Falls
About 50 kilometres east, near Kodencheri at the foot of the Western Ghats, Thusharagiri is a set of three waterfalls, the tallest dropping around 75 metres. A short trek through forest and spice plantations reaches the lower falls, while the upper falls reward a longer walk. It is fullest between June and December and pairs easily with the Thamarassery drive.
Pazhassiraja Museum and Art Gallery
On East Hill, the Pazhassiraja Museum holds murals, bronzes, old coins and megalithic finds from across Malabar. The adjoining Art Gallery and Krishna Menon Museum display paintings by Raja Ravi Varma and Raja Raja Varma alongside personal belongings of V K Krishna Menon.

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.
Toy Town of Karnataka
The Bangalore–Mysore Expressway makes the first leg quick, especially before 7:00 AM. Ramanagara, with the granite hills made famous by the film Sholay, runs one of the largest silk cocoon markets in Asia, where farmers auction cocoons every morning. A few kilometres on, Channapatna has made lacquered wooden toys for over two centuries, a craft said to have been encouraged by Tipu Sultan with the help of Persian artisans. The toys carry a GI tag and are coloured with natural dyes, which makes them safe for small children. Ask your driver to use the service road if you want to stop at a toy workshop.
Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan
Maddur gave its name to the crisp onion and semolina Maddur vada, still fried fresh along the old highway and a good reason for an early breakfast stop. Mandya, surrounded by sugarcane fields watered by the Krishna Raja Sagar dam, is Karnataka's Sugar City, with jaggery units working through the season. Srirangapatna sits on an island in the Kaveri and was Tipu Sultan's capital until 1799. The Ranganathaswamy Temple, the Daria Daulat Bagh summer palace, Tipu's Gumbaz and the spot where he fell are all a few kilometres off the highway.
Dakshina Kashi of Karnataka
The route skirts Mysore on the ring road, but the palace city is always tempting. Mysore Palace, lit by nearly a hundred thousand bulbs on Sunday and holiday evenings, Chamundi Hills and the Devaraja market are all close by for groups breaking the journey. South of the city, NH766 reaches Nanjangud on the banks of the Kapila river. The Srikanteshwara Temple here, one of the largest in Karnataka, is revered as the Kashi of the south, and its Dodda Jathre chariot festival draws huge crowds every spring. Nanjangud is also known for its rasabale, a small GI-tagged banana.
Tiger Reserve on the Highway
Past Nanjangud the land flattens into farmland, and around Gundlupet, especially from July to September, the fields turn yellow and orange with sunflowers and marigolds. Travellers love stopping for photographs; do so only where the driver finds safe parking, and never walk into a field without the farmer's permission. Then the forest begins. Bandipur Tiger Reserve covers about 870 square kilometres, and the highway runs through its core for close to 20 kilometres. Speed limits are low, stopping and feeding animals is prohibited, and elephants, gaur, spotted deer and the occasional tiger are seen from the road. The bandipur night traffic ban, roughly 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, decides the timing of every trip on this route.
Town Named after Tipu's Battery
At Mulehole the road leaves Karnataka and enters the Muthanga range of the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, where the interstate tax check is completed. The forest gives way to coffee, pepper and areca plantations. Sulthan Bathery was once known as Ganapathivattam, and it takes its present name from Tipu Sultan, who used a 13th-century Jain temple here to store his ammunition. That temple still stands near the town centre. About 12 kilometres away, the Edakkal Caves hold Neolithic rock engravings of human figures and symbols, reached by a steep climb up Ambukuthi Mala. Bathery is a comfortable lunch halt.
City of Spices and India's First UNESCO City of Literature
The final 30 kilometres run through Thamarassery, Koduvally, known for its gold jewellery shops, and Kunnamangalam before entering Kozhikode. For centuries this was one of the great spice ports of the world, where pepper, cardamom and ginger from the Malabar hills were traded with Arab, Chinese and later European merchants; Ibn Battuta and the Chinese admiral Zheng He both passed through. In 2023 UNESCO named Kozhikode a City of Literature, the first in India, recognising its libraries, bookshops and writers such as Basheer and S K Pottekkatt. On a 5:30 AM start with halts, you arrive by mid-afternoon, in time for sunset at the beach and a plate of Kozhikode biryani.
For Bangalore companies organising team trips to Wayanad and the Malabar coast, client visits in Kozhikode or offsites at beach resorts. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, multiple pickup points across tech parks and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate minibus bangalore stays with the team throughout. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end.
The most common booking on this route: Malayali families in Bangalore travelling home for weddings, housewarming ceremonies and festivals such as Onam and Vishu. The driver plans pickups from multiple Bangalore locations, drops at venues and homes in Kozhikode, and schedules the return. For larger guest lists, our wedding bus rental bangalore service can combine mini buses, buses and cars under one booking.
Kozhikode's history, from the Zamorins to Vasco da Gama's landing and its UNESCO literary status, together with the Wayanad forests and the Edakkal Caves, makes this an excellent study trip. Our college trip bus rental bangalore package includes verified drivers, a first aid kit and strict headcounts at every stop. See our school transportation services page for more on student travel.
For groups where cost per head matters most. Non-AC 12 to 17 seater mini buses with a clean vehicle and verified driver. The mini bus rate per km in bangalore is lowest in the non-AC tier, and across a round trip of over 700 kilometres the saving for a full group is significant. Budget refers only to vehicle specification, never to maintenance or driver standards.

For a premium small-group option, our luxury urbania rental bangalore service offers 13 to 17 seater Force Urbania vans on the same route.
Our ac minibus rental bangalore fleet covers 12, 14, 17, 20 and 24 seater configurations. Because we run every class of group vehicle from one Bangalore base, a change in headcount after booking can usually be handled by moving up or down a category.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles have seated configurations with push-back seats, and the Bandipur stretch of NH766 is closed at night in any case, so the Kozhikode journey is always planned as a daytime drive.

The bangalore to calicut distance is approximately 355 kilometres via Mysore, Bandipur, Sulthan Bathery, Kalpetta and the Thamarassery ghat. The drive takes 8 to 9 hours including breakfast and lunch halts. Leaving by 5:00 AM brings the group into Kozhikode by mid-afternoon.
Yes. Kozhikode is the official Malayalam name of the city, and Calicut is its older English name, still widely used in bus timetables, airports and everyday speech. Our bangalore to calicut minibus and Bangalore to Kozhikode bookings refer to the same destination.
The NH766 stretch through the Bandipur Tiger Reserve is closed to regular traffic at night, usually from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, to protect wildlife. Timings can change, so our drivers plan departures to cross the forest well within the open hours. That is why we recommend an early 5:00 AM start from Bangalore and a morning departure from Kozhikode on the return.
Yes. Kozhikode is in Kerala, so a valid Karnataka to Kerala interstate permit is required, billed at actuals. We arrange all documentation before departure, and the permit is checked at the Muthanga border. Your group does not need to do anything.
Pricing starts from around Rs 30 per kilometre for a 12 seater AC mini bus and varies with seating capacity, AC or non-AC configuration and the number of days. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, Kerala interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. Every charge appears in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
Yes, with an experienced driver. The Thamarassery Churam has nine hairpin bends and can be busy, and heavy monsoon rain occasionally causes landslides and delays. Our drivers are familiar with the ghat, drive it in daylight and adjust plans if the road is closed or congested.
Yes. Wayanad lies directly on the route, and many groups add an overnight halt at Kalpetta or Vythiri to visit the Edakkal Caves, Banasura Sagar Dam or Pookode Lake before continuing to Kozhikode. The same mini bus and driver stay with the group, and the whole trip is quoted as one figure.
Yes. Wedding groups are among our most frequent bookings on this route. We can arrange one or more mini buses, larger buses or cars, plan pickups from multiple Bangalore locations and schedule venue transfers in Kozhikode. For weddings, a minimum 7-day notice is needed for a full refund if plans change.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking, paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, with a receipt within 30 minutes. Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge, but multi-day trips need a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund. Charges of 10, 25 and 50 percent apply for later cancellations as set out in our cancellation policy.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover; passengers should arrange their own travel insurance if needed. All vehicles carry valid insurance and full statutory compliance, and every driver is verified. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel dates, pickup location, group size and itinerary. A written quote follows within 2 hours. Our mini bus booking online and WhatsApp enquiry lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
