Group boarding
At 6:30 am the group climbs aboard at a single meeting place in Mysore while the coordinator ticks names off the list. Every road to Wayanad and Ooty leaves the city southwards through Nanjangud and Gundlupet, and the mini bus takes that road without touching the busy centre. Kozhikode is about four and a half hours away with halts, so lunch on the coast is realistic. Put big bags in the rear and keep water bottles and snacks under the seats.

Darshan stop
If the group wants darshan, the first halt is the Srikanteshwara temple at Nanjangud, 25 km down the road. Its complex ranks among the largest temples in Karnataka, and the mini bus waits on the temple road while everyone goes in together. Traditional clothes are expected. Thirty minutes covers twenty people on a normal weekday. On the way out, look for the old road and rail bridge over the Kabini, built in 1735 and now protected as a heritage monument.

Tea and head count
The coordinator should count heads at Gundlupet, where the bus halts fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms. Beyond the town the highway enters about 25 km of protected forest, and stopping there can bring a fine. Some travellers now visit the vineyards around Gundlupet in the Onam weeks, a curiosity for the return trip. The driver tops up diesel here. Wayanad and breakfast are 55 km further, across the state line.

Breakfast for the group
Breakfast happens in Sulthan Bathery, since Gundlupet offers little food and travellers on this road are told to eat in Bathery instead. The driver chooses a hotel that can seat twenty at one go, and thirty five minutes is enough for puttu, appam and tea. Cricket fans may want to know that the Krishnagiri ground nearby, at about 2,100 ft, is among the highest in the country. Honey and spices are sold in the market before the group moves on to Kalpetta.

Kalpetta
Next comes Kalpetta, headquarters of the district and about 780 m up among tea and coffee estates. The mini bus carries straight on. For a future stay, Soochipara falls lie about 24 km away past Meppadi, and the Chembra trek also starts near Meppadi, with a forest permit and a guide. The road here used to be NH 212 and is now numbered NH 766. Vythiri and the top of the ghat are roughly 15 km ahead.

Ghat foot
Nine hairpins later the mini bus rolls into Thamarassery, where a ten minute stretch is welcome. Buses of both KSRTC and private operators gather in this busy little town, so tea is never far. Work to widen the sharpest bends of the churam has slowed traffic at times. Keep water and snacks handy on the drive home, in case the ghat jams at night. Kozhikode is now only about 30 km down the plain.

One hotel for all
Including the halts, the mini bus needs about four and a half hours to Kozhikode. Everyone gets down at the same hotel, chosen with space for the bus at the gate. A Malabar lunch is the natural first meal, and the city's banana chips and halwa make good things to carry home. If someone leaves by train, the station here is a busy one where every train stops. The bus then waits for the group's afternoon plan in the city.
Is a Mysore to Kozhikode mini bus right for your group of twenty, going for the beach, the food and the old port? Kozhikode (Calicut) is roughly 210 km from Mysuru via Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and the Thamarassery ghat. We arrange mini bus on rent in Mysore with our own drivers. For Kozhikode we pick up from Mandakalli airport or your office in Hebbal.

For a mini bus, Kozhikode is about 210 km from Mysore, close to 420 km for the return. The route is NH766 through Nanjangud, Gundlupet and the forest belt to Sulthan Bathery, across Wayanad by Kalpetta and down the Thamarassery ghat. Allow about four and a half hours with breakfast.
If the Kozhikode mini bus runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
A one way drop to Kozhikode is quoted on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
No. Kozhikode: the Kerala entry permit for a tourist vehicle is extra too. Tolls, parking and GST are added at actual, with receipts.

Yes, the Kozhikode forest stretch is shut from 9 pm to 6 am. We cross it in daylight.
There are no daytime closures, and the Bandipur and Muthanga highway is open to daytime traffic all year. It does shut every night from 9 pm to 6 am, with only ambulances allowed, so both legs of the trip should cross in daylight. In the June to September rains the Thamarassery ghat can also run slow.
Yes, it is about four and a half hours with halts at Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and Thamarassery. Elders should use the Gundlupet restroom, as the bus cannot stop in the forest, and take the front rows for the hairpins. Keep their medicines in a small seat bag rather than in the rear.
