Pickup for the group
A full coach for Kozhikode leaves Mysore at 6 am, which leaves room for about five hours of driving with halts. Choose one spot where all forty can gather, and load the suitcases into the hold before anyone takes a seat. If the trip falls in the Dasara weeks of September or October, police diversions slow the exits from the city, so we set off earlier on those days. The coach heads out by the Nanjangud road towards Gundlupet.

Temple stop
For groups who want darshan, Nanjangud is the place, 25 km south. The outer wall of the Srikanteshwara temple holds 122 carved images of Shiva in its niches. The coach waits on the wide main road, and everyone walks to the gate in one party. Half an hour is enough on an ordinary day; note that the shrine closes around 1 pm and opens again at 4 pm. Gundlupet, with tea and diesel, comes 35 km later.

Restrooms and diesel
A fifteen minute halt at Gundlupet gives forty people time for tea and restrooms, and the coordinator should call everyone back a little early. The town lies about 816 m up, on the dry side of the hills. At the fork the coach stays on the Kerala highway rather than turning for Ooty. Diesel goes in here, because what follows is forest where no vehicle may halt. Sulthan Bathery is 55 km off.

Coach breakfast
Breakfast for the coach is in Sulthan Bathery, the largest road hub in Wayanad, where the driver uses a hotel with room to park outside. Forty minutes feeds forty people. State highways leave this town for Ooty and Coimbatore, but the coach keeps to the Kozhikode road. Pepper, cardamom and local coffee are the market buys, light to carry in a hand bag. Coffee country continues for another 25 km to Kalpetta, which the coach passes without stopping.

Wayanad town
Kalpetta, reached at the 140 km mark, has been the district headquarters since 1980 and a municipality since 1990. The coach drives through. Tea and coffee estates surround the town, and Uravu, a not for profit at Thrikkaipetta nearby, makes bamboo crafts that groups sometimes visit on a slower trip. After Kalpetta the road climbs a little to Vythiri and Lakkidi, about 15 km on, where the Thamarassery ghat begins its drop to the coast.

Ghat foot
Thamarassery marks the end of the churam, the 14 km ghat that drops from Lakkidi through nine hairpins. A full coach goes down slowly in low gear. Since June 2026 the big multi axle lorries and tankers are kept off the ghat through the daytime, which makes the day run easier for a coach but piles traffic up after dark. Plan the return climb before evening. The city is about 30 km away on level road.

Coach drop
About five hours after the Mysore start, the coach reaches Kozhikode and stops at the group's hotel, chosen with parking for a full size vehicle, since the inner lanes are tight. A Malabar lunch suits a big party, and the halwa shops pack boxes to carry home. UNESCO named Kozhikode a City of Literature, the first in the country. The coach stays on call for the afternoon programme in the city.
Need Mysore to Kozhikode bus hire for 30 to 50 people for the beach, the food and the old port? It is roughly 210 km from Mysuru to Kozhikode (Calicut), via Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and the Thamarassery ghat. One coach, halts where a big bus can park.

A coach from Mysore travels about 210 km to Kozhikode, around 420 km for the round trip. It runs NH766 by Nanjangud, Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery, crosses Wayanad through Kalpetta and descends the Thamarassery ghat to the coast. A full coach needs about 5 hours with a breakfast halt.
No. For Kozhikode add the Kerala entry permit for the bus, billed at actuals. Kozhikode bus tolls are higher than car tolls; they are listed separately with GST and parking.
Yes. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Yes. Nine hairpins and heavy weekend traffic; our drivers take it slowly.
The 49 or 50 seater gives a seat to all and a few spare. Sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. It is shown in the quote. On our Mysore card that is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
October to March is the comfortable season, with dry roads and mild Wayanad weather. The coast gets hot and sticky in April and May. Monsoon rain from June to September slows a coach on the ghat and in Wayanad, so we build in extra time. Holiday weeks fill Kozhikode hotels quickly.
Only a small seat bag: water, a snack, any medicines and something warm for Wayanad. Big cases stay in the hold until the hotel, and the coach does not stop in the forest. Label every case and give the coordinator the count before leaving Mysore.
