Pickup at your door
Kozhikode is a 5 to 5.5 hour drive with halts, so a 7 am pickup is early enough, and there is time for a Mysore masala dosa, the one with red chutney spread inside, before you leave. The car calls at your house, a hotel, Mysore Junction or the bus stand. It takes the Nanjangud road out of the city, and the first temple town comes up 25 km later. Tell the driver if you want a darshan there, so the halt is planned.
Temple stop
Nanjangud is only 25 km out, too soon for breakfast but right for a darshan. The Srikanteshwara temple sits by the Kapila river, and people call the town the Kashi of the south. The cab parks a short walk from the gate; twenty minutes is enough on a weekday, but the five chariot festival in spring brings huge crowds. Carry traditional clothes for the temple. Gundlupet and the forest belt are 35 km on.
Coffee and fuel
Gundlupet, at 60 km, is the car's coffee and fuel halt. Past this point the national highway runs through about 25 km of forest, where you cannot stop, and the gate shuts to night traffic at 9 pm. Gundlupet itself has only small eateries, so most people wait for Wayanad to eat. From June to August, marigold and sunflower fields brighten the road out of town. Sulthan Bathery is 55 km away.
Breakfast in Wayanad
Sulthan Bathery, 115 km from Mysore, is a late breakfast stop for the car, about 900 m up and noticeably cooler. Puttu with a curry or appam with stew are the usual Kerala choices. The Edakkal Caves, with carvings from the Neolithic age, are about 12 km off; they shut on Mondays and cap daily visitors, so keep them for a longer Wayanad trip. Pepper and cardamom are sold in the market. From there it is a short run of 25 km into Kalpetta.
District town
Kalpetta, 140 km out, has been the headquarters of Wayanad district since 1980 and sits among coffee and tea estates at about 780 m. The cab usually drives straight through, but the market sells local coffee and spices if you missed them in Bathery. Uravu at Thrikkaipetta, near Kalpetta, makes bamboo products, a good detour on a slower day. Vythiri and the ghat top come up about 15 km further on.
Ghat foot
Thamarassery, at 180 km, is the town at the bottom of the Wayanad churam. The car has just come down nine hairpins in about 14 km from Lakkidi. Kerala's first rubber estate is here, and coconut and rubber groves cover the slopes. In a car there is no need to stop; Kozhikode is only 30 km on. On the return, start the climb early, because lorries banned in the daytime crowd the ghat at night.
Drop in the city
The car reaches Kozhikode about 5 to 5.5 hours after leaving Mysore and drops you at your hotel. The city was named India's first UNESCO City of Literature in 2023. For lunch or dinner, try the local Malabar food, and pick up Kozhikodan halwa, sold in many colours, for home. Kozhikode railway station is one of the busiest in South India if someone in the family goes on by train. The driver waits for your sightseeing plan.
Booking a Mysore to Kozhikode cab for a small family for the beach, the food and the old port? Kozhikode (Calicut) is roughly 210 km away, via Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and the Thamarassery ghat. Our car to Kozhikode picks you up at your house in Kuvempunagar or your home in Ramakrishnanagar. Our Mysore to Kozhikode taxi comes from cab rental in Mysore, with drivers who know this 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.

Kozhikode, once called Calicut, is about 210 km from Mysore, around 420 km for a return trip. The cab heads down NH766 by Nanjangud, Gundlupet and Sulthan Bathery, crosses Wayanad through Kalpetta and then descends the nine bends of the Thamarassery ghat to the coast. About 5 to 5.5 hours by car.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. It is shown in the quote. That comes to ₹400 a night.
No. Plus the Kerala entry permit for the car. On every cab trip, parking, tolls and GST are charged extra.
An Innova Crysta. For Kozhikode, six people and their bags fit. The full car list is on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. The driver waits wherever you stop; local km are charged at the same rate.
On request, yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
It does, though from June to September the hairpins can be misty and slow, and a landslip or a stalled lorry sometimes holds traffic. Heavy trucks are now barred from the ghat by day and queue up at night, so a car is best on it in daylight. When the churam is blocked, the Kuttiady road offers another way down.
It can be done, but it means about eight hours in the car. The Karnataka forest is shut from 9 pm to 6 am, so you would have to leave Kozhikode by early afternoon. With young children, one night in Kozhikode or Wayanad is far more comfortable.
