Pookode Lake
About 3 km away on the highway. The bus parks at the lake parking. Boats are small, so the group goes in turns; keep 90 minutes.
Lakkidi View Point
A short stop on the ghat edge. The bus pulls in only where the shoulder is wide, so keep it to fifteen minutes.
Chembra Peak
Trek passes are limited per day and given near Meppadi. Book for the group early. The bus waits at the base area.
Banasura Sagar Dam
About 20 km from Kalpetta. Good for a half-day outing with the full group. Bus parking near the entry.

One pickup point
For a group of 42 or more, the bus sets off at 5:30 am from one wide meeting point outside the city centre. Narrow streets and short loading windows near Majestic make the centre a poor place for a big coach. One bag per person goes into the hold, and the organiser keeps the name list for every halt. Vythiri is the farthest of the usual Wayanad stops, close to 300 km, so the early start also leaves room on the return to clear the forest before it shuts at 9 pm.
Breakfast
The coach reaches Mysore after roughly 145 km and stays on the ring road, NH 275K, which loops about 41.5 km round the city. Breakfast is at a big hotel on the south side that can seat the whole group at once; keep forty minutes, head count included. If the return plan includes the zoo, remember that it shuts on Tuesdays and that parking a bus there costs more than a car. Most Mysore shops close before 10 pm, which matters if the group wants to shop on the way back.
Restroom
Gundlupet is the last halt in Karnataka and the most important one for a busload, because the next long stretch to Bathery is forest where no vehicle may stop. Send everyone to the restroom, buy drinking water and count heads before boarding. Fifteen minutes is enough. The eateries here are small and suit tea, not lunch, so the full meal is planned at Bathery. In the Onam season the town's flower trade fills the road with lorries heading to Kerala, so the driver allows a little extra time.
Forest
The coach crosses the Bandipur stretch and then Muthanga, the southern range of the Wayanad sanctuary. The Karnataka side is shut from 9 pm to 6 am, and despite pressure from Kerala the night ban has stayed. A bus cannot take the group into the sanctuary; only forest department jeeps go inside on safari. Students should remain seated and keep their hands inside the windows when animals are near. About 15 km after Muthanga the forest opens up and the bus reaches Sulthan Bathery.
Lunch
Sulthan Bathery, about 260 km from Bangalore, is the lunch stop for the coach. With 42 or more people, forty five minutes covers the meal and the head count, and we phone the hotel with the numbers in advance. Bathery is the main transport junction of Wayanad, so a big bus parks here more easily than in the smaller towns ahead. After lunch, those who want can buy estate coffee or tea in the market. Kozhikode is about 97 km away for groups going on to the coast later.
Town
The bus does not stop at Kalpetta but passes through the town, about 285 km from Bangalore. Kalpetta is the Wayanad district headquarters and sits at about 780 m among coffee and tea estates. For an office group with a free afternoon later in the trip, the town is the nearest place for shopping, medicines or a bank. Mananthavady lies about 30 km north of Kalpetta. From here NH 766 climbs gently for about 15 km to Vythiri, where the coach parks for the resort.
Arrival
A full bus reaches Vythiri in about seven and a half hours. Vythiri has many resorts, some on narrow estate lanes; for those, the bus stops at the nearest wide point and the resort sends a smaller vehicle. The Thamarassery ghat starts just beyond Vythiri; since 3 June 2026 multi axle trucks, containers and tankers have been barred on it from 6 am to 8 pm, so night truck queues build there. Rain is heavy, with July the wettest month.
Planning an office offsite or a big family get-together at a Vythiri resort? Below you will find the Bangalore to Vythiri Bus route, the halts that suit a big coach and the fare. A full bus takes 27 to 50 people in one go, and we time it so the forest stretch is crossed in daylight. Tejas Tours & Travels has run bus on rent in Bangalore since 2009.

Vythiri is about 300 km each way, about 600 km in all. A bus for two days is billed at 600 km, our 300 km a day minimum, so a plain resort trip fits. Sightseeing around Wayanad is added per km. Bus tolls, the Kerala permit, parking and GST are extra. Volvo and BharatBenz on request, at 400 km a day. Diesel and the driver are part of the bus rate per km, and the driver allowance is charged by the day. Both AC and non-AC buses are available, and the rate depends on the one you choose.

Only 15 to 25 people coming? The Bangalore to Vythiri mini bus costs less and reaches more resort gates. Senior guests going separately can take the Bangalore to Vythiri cab.

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.

About 300 km by Mysore, Gundlupet, Muthanga, Sultan Bathery and Kalpetta, so about 600 km for the round trip. A full bus takes about 7.5 hours with breakfast at Mysore and lunch at Bathery. A 5:30 am start puts the group at Vythiri by early afternoon.
Two days billed at 600 km at ₹54/km come to ₹32,400. Driver allowance for two days is ₹2,000. Tolls, Kerala permit, parking and GST are extra.
No vehicle can. The forest road is shut from 9 pm to 6 am, so we leave Bangalore early and start back from Wayanad by early afternoon.
The 45 or 49 seater, so everyone sits and bags fit. Sizes and rates: bus on rent in Bangalore.
If the resort is on the highway, yes. For estate roads we ask the resort first and plan a drop on the main road if needed.
Yes. Pookode, Banasura and Lakkidi are all on bus roads. Extra km beyond 600 are billed at the same rate.
October to February is dry and cool, the best time for an office or college group. March to May is warmer but fine. June to September is the monsoon, and Vythiri gets about 3,840 mm of rain a year, so outdoor plans often change then. Mysore's Dasara traffic can slow the start of the drive in September or October.
In the hold under the bus, one bag per person. A small bag at the seat should carry water, medicine and a rain jacket, since the hold is opened only at the resort. Tag bags with names and room numbers so the resort staff can hand them out quickly.
