Family pickup
At half past six the tempo traveller stops at your gate, or at the hotel or station if that is easier, and the family's bags go in the back. With a couple of halts, the coast is about four hours off. Visitors from northern India will find Kannada spoken all over Mysore and Hindi much less, so the driver handles directions and tea orders on the way. The van heads out by the Nanjangud road, with a bag of snacks kept between the front seats.
Temple town
Nanjangud, 25 km out, is the temple town on the Kabini, also called the Kapila. The Srikanteshwara temple tower rises about 120 ft and dates from 1845; inside stands a stone Nandi about 8 ft tall. Allow thirty minutes for a family darshan; the temple opens early, around 6 am. The real Nanjangud rasabale banana, with its own GI tag, is now rare, so ask before buying. Gundlupet is 35 km on.
Tea before the reserve
Gundlupet, 60 km from Mysore, gets a fifteen minute tea halt. The family uses the restroom here, because the 25 km of forest ahead allows no stopping. Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta, the hill shrine at about 1,450 m, is reached from here via Hangala, and visitors ride a forest bus up between about 8:30 am and 4 pm, so it suits another day. The driver fills diesel. Sulthan Bathery is 55 km on.
Breakfast
At Sulthan Bathery, 115 km out, the family has breakfast. The town takes its name from Tipu Sultan, who stored ammunition here. Idiyappam with egg curry or puttu is a good first Kerala meal, and thirty minutes covers it. The old Jain temple is in the town for a quick look. Spices, tea and forest honey are sold in the Bathery market. Kalpetta is the next town, 25 km on.
Wayanad headquarters
Kalpetta, 140 km out, is the main town of Wayanad, ringed by coffee and tea gardens. A ten minute halt lets the children stretch before the ghat. Pookode lake, with boating, is about 15 km away near Vythiri, and Banasura Sagar dam, called the largest earth dam in India, is about 20 km, both better for a Wayanad stay. Coffee and spices from local farms are sold in the town market. The ghat top is near.
After the bends
Thamarassery, 180 km from Mysore, is the town at the foot of the churam. After nine hairpins, ten minutes of fresh air helps anyone who felt the bends. On the return, trucks barred from the ghat by day start moving at 8 pm, and long jams have happened, so carry water and snacks for the climb. The other way up is the Kuttiady road. For now the van has an easy 30 km of flat road left before the city.
Hotel drop
Four hours or so after the pickup, the tempo traveller pulls up at the family's hotel in Kozhikode. Two snacks define the city: banana chips fried while you wait, and pazham pori, ripe banana dipped in batter. Children enjoy hearing that Vasco da Gama stepped ashore close to here in 1498, which opened the sea route to Europe. The van waits for the afternoon programme, or comes back next morning if you stay over.
Need a Mysore to Kozhikode tempo traveller for 9 to 20 people for the beach, the food and the old port?

You stop when the kids need a break. The van for Kozhikode comes to Mandakalli airport or your office in Hebbal.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

By road Kozhikode is roughly 210 km from Mysore, about 420 km if you come back by road. The tempo traveller follows NH766 through Nanjangud and Gundlupet, the Bandipur and Muthanga forest, Sulthan Bathery and Kalpetta, then the Thamarassery ghat. Plan about 5 to 5.5 hours with breakfast.
The 16 seater; bags get two spare seats. Each size and rate is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, on request. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
GST is extra, and so are tolls and parking. The Kerala entry permit is charged separately. You get the receipts.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. It is shown in the quote. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes, paid at the border, billed at actual.
Between October and March the roads are dry and Wayanad mornings are crisp, which makes for an easy drive. In April and May the Kozhikode coast turns hot and sticky. From June to September Wayanad is drenched, with a slower, misty ghat, though the hills look their best.
Not in one go. Night traffic is not let through the Muthanga and Bandipur forest until 6 am, so leaving after dark only means waiting at the barrier. Either start back by early afternoon or sleep in Wayanad and cross the forest when it opens.
