Doorstep pickup
Kottayam is 445 km away, around 9 to 9.5 hours by car with the halts, so the driver is at your gate by 5:30 am. Any address in Mysuru works, and so do the station, the bus stand or the Mandakalli airport. The car leaves town on the Nanjangud road and points south for Wayanad. If your dates fall in Dasara, September or October, the police divert traffic on most exits from the city, and we start a little earlier. Breakfast waits in Kerala.
Coffee and a full tank
At Gundlupet, an hour or so out and 60 km along, the car takes on fuel and everyone gets a coffee. The highway splits here; the Ooty road goes left on NH 181 while Kerala traffic stays on NH 766. What follows is about 25 km of forest where a car may not pause even for a photo. Ten minutes is enough, and the driver keeps the papers ready for the forest check. Sulthan Bathery is 55 km ahead.
Breakfast in Wayanad
Once the forest thins out, Sulthan Bathery appears, 115 km from home and the main bus and road hub of the Wayanad district. A car finds parking easily, and half an hour covers puttu or appam with a curry. Families with a spare hour on the return can see the Edakkal engravings, about 12 km away up Ambukuthi hill, but not on a Monday, when the caves are shut. Coffee powder and cardamom from the market are good buys. The ghat to Kozhikode lies ahead.
Calicut lunch
Kozhikode, 210 km from Mysore and 95 km after breakfast, is where the car meets the coast. The city has been a trading port for centuries; Vasco da Gama landed close by in 1498. For lunch, forty minutes is fine, and the cab can stop right at SM Street if someone wants Kozhikodan halwa to carry. Kottayam is still 235 km south, so the driver keeps the halt short and fills up before the plains run to Thrissur.
Afternoon tea
Thrissur comes at 325 km, and fifteen minutes is enough for tea and a parippu vada, the lentil fritter of the Kerala tea shops. The city grew up around the Vadakkumnathan temple on its hillock, and the cab can loop past it if you want a look from the road. Thrissur is known for its silks, a quick buy for anyone in the car. From here the road turns towards Angamaly and the MC Road country, with 120 km left.
Drive through
Muvattupuzha, at 395 km, is where the MC Road crosses the Kochi to Madurai highway, so a cab usually rolls straight through. If anyone needs a break, ten minutes at a roadside tea shop is plenty. Arakuzha, about 5 km away, has the Marth Mariam church, with a recorded history of more than a thousand years and old paintings, an easy detour by car for a family interested in churches. Kottayam is about 50 km on along the MC Road.
Drop at your stay
The car reaches Kottayam about 9 to 9.5 hours after the Mysore pickup and drops you at your hotel or homestay. Kottayam is known as the City of Letters, where Malayala Manorama, Deepika and Mangalam began, and it sits on the Meenachil river close to where it meets Vembanad lake. For dinner, ask for the Syrian Christian kitchen of the town, such as pidi with chicken curry in roasted coconut gravy. The driver stays near your hotel for the next day's plans.
Want a Mysore to Kottayam cab that stops only where you want, for Kottayam and the Kumarakom backwaters? Kottayam is roughly 445 km away, via Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and Kozhikode. A Mysore to Kottayam taxi from cab rental in Mysore takes one phone call to book. The car to Kottayam collects you at a hotel on Hunsur Road or a hotel on JLB Road.

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.

Kottayam lies about 445 km from Mysore, which makes about 890 km for the return. The car takes NH766 by Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery, descends the Thamarassery ghat to Kozhikode, runs the plains to Thrissur and then follows the MC Road through Muvattupuzha. With halts, about 9 to 9.5 hours by car.
An Innova Crysta. Every car we run is on cab rental in Mysore. Six people and their bags fit.
Yes, that works. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
Yes. At each place the driver waits, and local km are billed at the same rate.
No. On every cab trip, GST, tolls and parking are extra. Plus the Kerala entry permit for the car.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. The night bata is ₹400.
In the monsoon, June to September, the Thamarassery ghat between Wayanad and Kozhikode is the slow part. Heavy trucks are kept off it by day, so they queue at night, and the car crosses it in daylight. Rain also slows the MC Road towns near Kottayam. On wet days we start earlier and allow an extra hour, and carry umbrellas.
Keep the day in four short legs: Gundlupet for the restroom, Sulthan Bathery for breakfast, Kozhikode for lunch and Thrissur for tea. Children should use the restroom before the Bandipur forest, where the cab cannot stop. A light breakfast before the nine hairpins helps, and a window seat keeps them comfortable.
