Door pickup
The car comes at 5:30 am, which puts you on an empty Mysore expressway and in Coorg by mid morning. Thalassery is about 315 km away, on the Malabar coast just south of Kannur. If you are heading for a wedding, hang the clothes on the hook behind the seat rather than folding them into the boot. South Bangalore pickups join the expressway by NICE Road. A quick coffee at Channapatna comes first, and breakfast is planned off the Mysore ring road.
Quick coffee
Channapatna, 60 km out on the Kanva river, is a ten minute coffee and restroom halt; the expressway goes round the town, so the car takes the exit. The lacquered toys here carry a GI tag and are sold straight from the makers at the artisan co operatives, and in a car you can pull up right in front. A small set of wooden toys makes an easy gift for children at the house you are visiting in Kerala.
Breakfast off the ring road
The expressway ends at the Mysore ring road, about 145 km out, and the car stops for breakfast at a hotel off it without entering the city. Mysore masala dosa, with a red chutney spread inside, is the local version to try. Mysore pak, the ghee rich gram flour sweet, keeps well for a few days, so it travels to Thalassery as a gift. The driver tops up fuel, then joins the Hunsur road at the Hinkal flyover.
Through the tobacco town
On the 175 km mark the car rolls through Hunsur, where teak yards and tobacco barns tell you the local trade. The driver turns south here, leaving the Kushalnagar traffic behind, because the state highways towards Gonikoppal and Virajpet start in this town. Tea stalls near the bus stand are quick if anyone wants one. If you have a spare hour on the drive home, Gommatagiri, a low Jain hill with a Bahubali statue near Bilikere, is a short detour by car.
Coorg coffee stop
Virajpet, 240 km out, is the main town of south Kodagu and a twenty minute tea halt. Shops on the main road sell Coorg coffee powder, pepper and honey, good gifts for hosts on the coast. The town was laid out in 1792, and the Gothic spire of St Anne's church rises above it. After Virajpet, state highway SH 91 drops down the Makutta ghat into Kerala, a narrow forest road where the car does not stop, so use the restroom here.
Into Kerala
Iritty, 270 km out, is the first Kerala town after the ghat, on the Bavali river, with a steel bridge the British built in 1933. Lunch is rice with fish curry, or porotta with a curry, at the hotels in town; thirty minutes is enough. Kannur airport at Mattannur is about 20 km away, useful for anyone flying back. From Iritty, Thalassery is about 45 km of easier road through pepper and rubber country.
Home, hotel or the sea
Thalassery is about 315 km from Bangalore, and the cab drops you at your door or hotel and waits if needed. The town is famous for Thalassery biryani, cooked with short grained kaima rice, also called jeerakasala, rather than basmati. It is also credited with Kerala's first bakery, so pick up snacks from the old bakeries. Kannur is about 22 km north and Kozhikode about 66 km south, both easy day runs by car.
Need a Bangalore to Thalassery cab for family, a wedding or the biryani and the beaches, up to seven people? The car takes the Coorg road and reaches in about six hours. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

By road Thalassery lies about 315 km from Bangalore, which makes roughly 630 km for the round trip. The car follows the Mysore expressway, loops round Mysore, then runs through Hunsur and Virajpet in Coorg before the Makutta ghat and Iritty. Pure driving is about 5.5 hours; with breakfast, tea and lunch, plan on about seven.
For 3 days, 900 km: Dzire ₹10,800, Etios ₹12,600, Innova ₹16,200, Innova Crysta ₹18,000. Driver allowance ₹350 or ₹400 a day. Kerala permit, tolls and GST extra.
Yes. One way is ₹2 a km over the round trip rate. Send the date and address and we confirm in writing.
The Innova Crysta. It is comfortable on the Makkuttam ghat. See every car on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes, via Mananthavady and the Nedumpoil ghat. The Coorg road through Virajpet is the usual one; we choose by season and road condition.
Yes. Kannur is about 20 km north. Local km are added at the same rate if the trip goes over 900 km.
Most days, yes, but the ghat is the weak link. South Coorg is soaked from June to August, with Virajpet logging about 2,590 mm in 2022, and slips have shut the Virajpet to Kerala road in some Julys. We ask locally the evening before.
Yes. There are four natural breaks: coffee at Channapatna, breakfast near Mysore, tea in Virajpet and lunch at Iritty. Only the Makutta ghat between Virajpet and Iritty winds, so put elders in front and give a queasy child the window. A light breakfast and a lighter lunch make the bends easier.
