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.
Built for Bangalore technology and manufacturing teams travelling to Malabar for offsites, plant visits and annual outings, and for the Wayanad resort circuit that has become a standard Bangalore corporate destination. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the full multi-day trip, the Kerala interstate permit arranged in advance, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate tempo traveller bangalore stays with your team across the Wayanad, Kozhikode and Beypore legs, with duty slips signed daily and reconciled against the final invoice. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages multi-vehicle movements end to end.
The most common booking on this corridor, and it splits into two kinds. The first is the holiday: three or four days built around two nights in Wayanad and one in Kozhikode, covering Edakkal, Pookode, Banasura, then Kappad, Beypore and the city. The second is the family occasion — weddings, house functions, hospital visits — where a group needs to reach Kozhikode together, stay a few days and come back. Both work best on a 14 or 17 seater, because Kerala family travel means three generations and a great deal of luggage, and because the vehicle waiting outside is what makes a multi-stop itinerary possible.
For groups where cost per head decides the booking. Non-AC 12 to 14 seater tempo travellers, point to point, no frills, clean vehicle and a verified driver. Suited to college groups, school excursions, photography clubs and community trips. Note that non-AC is less comfortable on this route than on hill routes — the Malabar coast is humid year round, and while the Wayanad stretch is pleasant, the last thirty kilometres into Kozhikode is not. The tempo traveller rate per km in bangalore for the non-AC tier is our lowest and the saving across a full group over a 710 kilometre return run is substantial, but we would suggest AC on this corridor specifically. The budget tier is about vehicle specification only; maintenance and driver vetting are identical across every tier.
Premium seating configuration with fewer, wider push-back seats, extra legroom, better sound insulation, LED interior lighting and a superior music system. Across eight hours with a ghat descent at the end, the difference is functional rather than cosmetic. Our luxury tempo traveller bangalore option suits senior management offsites, wedding parties travelling to Kozhikode for functions, and family groups booking resort accommodation in Wayanad. For a further step up in the same passenger range, the force urbania rent bangalore fleet offers 13 to 17 seater luxury vans on the same route.
Our ac tempo traveller rental bangalore fleet covers 8, 9, 12, 14, 17 and 18 seater configurations. We run the full range of group vehicles from the same Bangalore base, so if your headcount changes after booking we can usually move you up or down a category without restarting the process.
• Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, AC and non-AC, the core vehicle for this route
• Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, for groups that outgrow a tempo traveller
• Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches for large movements
• Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van
• Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova and Innova Crysta through Innova Hycross, Fortuner and Commuter, up to Corolla Altis, Camry, Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Rolls-Royce Ghost
Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route the question is largely academic, because the Bandipur night traffic ban makes an overnight run impossible on the main highway in any case — every Kozhikode departure we operate is a daylight one.
We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so there are no surprises at trip end. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking.
• Base fare and fuel charges
• Driver allowance
• Toll charges and parking fees
• Inter state tax and permit for the Karnataka to Kerala crossing
• Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM
• GST as applicable
• Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage
The Kerala interstate permit is unavoidable on this route, since the border falls at Muthanga inside the forest stretch, and it is billed at actuals rather than hidden in the base rate. We arrange the documentation before departure. Forest checkpost levies, site entry fees at Edakkal, Banasura and similar, and boat charges at Kadalundi or Banasura are paid on the spot and are not part of our invoice.
The garage-to-garage basis is standard across the organised group transport industry in Bangalore. The meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup point and ends when it returns. We factor this into the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.
Every service below runs from both our Bangalore and Mysore bases, so you can start a trip in one city and finish in the other without changing operators. On this route a Mysore start is common, since it removes 145 kilometres from the drive.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

The bangalore to kozhikode distance is approximately 355 kilometres via Mysore, Nanjangud, Gundlupet, Bandipur, Muthanga, Sultan Bathery, Kalpetta and the Thamarassery Churam, running on NH275 and then NH766 the whole way. Expect 8 hours to 9 hours 30 minutes including halts, forest checkposts and the ghat descent. The same figure is what you will see quoted as the bangalore to calicut distance, since Calicut is simply the older name for the same city.
Bandipur and Muthanga are closed to through traffic between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM, with no exemptions for any vehicle. That makes an overnight departure impossible on the main highway. We recommend leaving Bangalore between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM, which clears the forest by mid-morning — the best time for wildlife sightings from the road — and gets you into Kozhikode in the late afternoon. If your schedule genuinely cannot work around it, the night-open alternative runs via Hunsur, Gonikoppal, Kutta and Mananthavady, which is longer and slower but stays open.
Yes. The Karnataka to Kerala border falls at Muthanga, inside the forest stretch, and a valid interstate permit is required. It is billed at actuals rather than absorbed into the base rate. We arrange all the documentation before departure and our drivers handle the checkpost formalities routinely, so you need do nothing. Vehicles arriving without a permit are turned back at Muthanga.
Pricing starts from around Rs 26 per kilometre for a 12 seater AC tempo traveller and varies by seating capacity, AC or non-AC configuration, and how many days the vehicle stays with you. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Charged separately at actuals are toll and parking, inter state tax and permit for the Kerala crossing, additional driver bata after 9:45 PM, and GST. The final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every charge appears as a line item in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific tempo traveller variant on your travel date. The advance must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card. A receipt is issued within 30 minutes and the balance is settled at trip end after deducting the advance.
Yes, and most groups do — Wayanad is directly on the road rather than a detour. The usual shape is two nights in Wayanad covering Edakkal Caves, Pookode Lake, Banasura Sagar, Chembra Peak and Soochipara, then down the churam for a night or two in Kozhikode. The same vehicle and driver stay with you throughout. Multi-day bookings are billed on total kilometres and hours with a per-day minimum plus driver allowance, so share the day-wise plan at enquiry stage and we quote the whole trip in one number.
It is nine hairpin bends dropping around a thousand metres from Lakkidi to Adivaram, on a road shared with heavy lorry traffic, so it demands a driver who knows it — which ours do. In ordinary conditions it is a scenic twenty minutes and nothing more. During heavy monsoon the descent slows considerably and landslides occasionally force temporary restrictions or closure, in which case traffic is diverted via alternative ghat routes. We monitor conditions before every departure. A genuine closure that forces cancellation is treated as force majeure with a 100 percent refund within 2 working days.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper services of any kind. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route the point is mostly academic, since the Bandipur night traffic ban rules out overnight travel on the main highway anyway — every Kozhikode departure we run is a daylight one.
Our tempo traveller bangalore fleet covers 8, 9, 12, 14, 17 and 18 seater configurations in AC and non-AC. A 17 seater tempo traveller bangalore is the most common choice for extended families and wedding parties on this route, while a 12 seater tempo traveller rent bangalore booking suits smaller groups wanting extra luggage room. Under eight passengers a car is usually more economical. Above eighteen we operate 12 to 24 seater mini buses and 27 to 50 seater coaches, though the Wayanad plantation roads make a tempo traveller more practical for local sightseeing. We would recommend AC on this corridor given the coastal humidity.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if they wish to be covered.
