Edakkal Caves
About 12 km away. The last road is narrow, so a full bus stops lower down. Keep half a day; the climb is steep.
Jain Temple, Sultan Bathery
In town near the bus stand. A short 20 minute stop for the group.
Phantom Rock
Near Ambalavayal. Seen from the road, so a quick photo stop while the bus waits.
Karapuzha Dam
About 20 km from town. Open space for a big group; keep an hour.

One pickup point
The Bathery coach departs at 5:30 am from one open meeting point, such as an office car park or a school ground. The coach rules inside Bangalore are confirmed again for every Sultan Bathery group. In the old centre near Majestic, a coach gets only a minute or two to board, which is impossible for 45 people with bags. Luggage goes in the hold, and Maddur, about 80 km on, is the breakfast halt.
Breakfast
Maddur is the breakfast stop for the bus, about 80 km out on the Shimsha river. The bus leaves the expressway and parks at a larger hotel on the old road that can feed the whole group quickly. Keep 30 minutes with the head count. Maddur is a tender coconut hub, and trucks loaded with coconuts leave for other states every day, so a roadside stall can serve every seat. SH 33 leaves Maddur for Malavalli, a road for another day.
Ring road
The bus does not enter Mysore. The outer ring road, NH 275K, is about 41.5 km round the city and takes a coach to the Nanjangud road without the narrow centre. If the group plans the zoo on the return, note that it is closed on Tuesdays and that bus parking costs more than car parking. A fuel station on the ring road is enough for a short restroom halt today.
Temple stop
Nanjangud is the big temple stop on this road, about 25 km past Mysore. The bus drops the group near the temple and waits on the main road. The Srikanteshwara temple covers about 50,000 sq ft, so a large group moves through it easily in thirty minutes. Dress modestly. In spring the five chariot festival draws lakhs of devotees, and the town is best avoided that day. Gundlupet is 35 km on.
Restroom
Gundlupet is the restroom stop before the forest. Bathery is about 55 km on, and roughly 25 km of that is forest where no vehicle may stop; fines and seizures have been reported. So the whole group uses the restrooms here and buys water, and the head count is done before the bus moves. Fifteen minutes is enough. In June to August the flower fields line the road beyond town.
Forest
A bus cannot take a group into the Muthanga sanctuary. Only forest department jeeps run the safaris, each taking up to 7 people, so a full busload needs several jeeps and an early start at the counter. The highway itself passes through the forest, and the bus keeps going without a halt. The Bandipur side behind you closes from 9 pm to 6 am. The sanctuary has four ranges, Sulthan Bathery, Muthanga, Kurichiat and Tholpetty. Bathery is about 15 km ahead, and lunch is there.
Arrival
A full bus reaches Sultan Bathery in about six and a half hours. Bathery is the largest transport hub in Wayanad, so a big bus manages in town better than in most Wayanad villages. The driver takes the group to the hotel and unloads at one point. Coffee and tea from local estates are sold in the market. Kozhikode is about 97 km away, and Kalpetta about 25 km, for groups going further.
Taking a college batch or an office team of 30 to 50 people to Wayanad, staying at Sultan Bathery? Our Bangalore to Sultan Bathery Bus guide below gives the route, the halts and the price for every size. One bus keeps the group together, and our driver times the forest stretch so you are never stuck at the gate. We run bus on rent in Bangalore for Kerala trips like this.
Route | One way | Sultan Bathery and back | Time by bus |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Sultan Bathery via Mysore, Gundlupet and Muthanga | About 260 km | About 520 km | About 6.5 hr with stops |
Sultan Bathery is about 260 km away, so the round trip is close to 520 km. A weekend there is billed as 2 days and 600 km, which leaves room for the Edakkal and dam runs. Tolls, the Kerala permit if the bus needs one, parking and GST are extra at actual cost. Volvo and BharatBenz on request, at 400 km a day. One way is ₹2 a km more. The per km rate already pays for diesel and driver; the driver's day allowance is extra. Pick an AC or a non-AC coach; that choice sets the rate.
Vehicle | Rate per km | 2 days, 600 km | 3 days, 900 km | 4 days, 1,200 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
₹44 | ₹27,800 | ₹41,700 | ₹55,600 | |

Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 50, 3 days in the 50 Seater Bus is about ₹1,030 a person.
27 to 30 people: 30 seater bus. Up to 40: 40 seater bus. 41 to 50: 50 seater bus. For a forest road and resort lanes, the smallest bus that seats everyone is easier to park.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

The bus covers roughly 260 km each way, so plan on about 520 km for the whole trip. It runs on the expressway to Mysore, then NH 766 through Nanjangud, Gundlupet and the Muthanga forest. With 45 people, breakfast and the head counts, allow about 6.5 hours; leaving at 5:30 am, lunch is in Bathery.
2 days at 600 km and ₹54/km make ₹32,400. Driver allowance is ₹1,000 a day. Tolls, permit and GST are extra.
No. The NH766 forest stretch is closed to traffic from 9 pm to 6 am. We plan the return so the bus is out before 9.
The 50 seater, so teachers also get seats. All sizes are on bus on rent in Bangalore.
Some estate roads are too narrow for a full bus. Share the resort name; we check and fix a drop point.
Only if the bus needs one. It is paid at the border and added at actual cost.
October to May. December to February is dry and cool, and Bathery, at about 900 m, has cold evenings, so carry sweaters. December to May is also the best time for the Muthanga sanctuary. June to September brings heavy monsoon rain to Wayanad, and the forest drive is slower then.
Big bags ride in the luggage hold below, one per person, and that is plenty for a two night Wayanad trip. Ask everyone to keep a small bag on their lap with water, any medicines and a sweater, since the hold stays closed until Bathery. Name tags and a room list help the hotel hand out bags in one go.
