Pickup in the city
Seven in the morning is early enough for Kozhikode, about four hours off with halts. The Urbania goes round to one or two addresses in Mysuru, then slips onto the outer ring road, the 41.5 km loop that keeps traffic out of the old centre, and turns south for Nanjangud. Seniors take the seats by the sliding door, and the larger bags are stacked behind the last row. The group should reach the coast in time for a late lunch.

Riverside temple
Barely half an hour from home, Nanjangud sits on the Kapila river with the great Srikanteshwara temple at its heart. Close to it, where the Kapila meets the Kaundinya, stands a smaller Parashurama shrine. The Urbania parks near the gate so seniors walk only a little. Modest dress is expected inside. Families also pick up Nanjangud tooth powder, an ayurvedic paste made in the town for about a century. Allow thirty minutes, then the road runs 35 km more to Gundlupet.

Last halt in Karnataka
Gundlupet comes at the 60 km mark, and the Urbania stops a quarter of an hour so people can have tea and use the restroom. Anyone who prefers to sit can stay in the cool van while the others bring the cups. Locals call the place the flower pot of India, and before Onam its fields send lorry loads of blooms to Kerala markets. The tank is filled here, as stopping inside the reserve is not allowed. Breakfast waits 55 km away.

Wayanad breakfast
Climbing out of the Muthanga range, the Urbania reaches Sulthan Bathery, about 900 m above the sea, for breakfast. Appam with a mild vegetable stew suits most groups, and half an hour is plenty. Ambalavayal, a short drive from the town, has the Wayanad Heritage Museum, worth a slot on a longer holiday. Coffee and bamboo goods from the market pack flat behind the seats. The district town of Kalpetta follows, about 25 km along the same highway.

Through Kalpetta
The road then passes Kalpetta, the capital of Wayanad district, sitting about 72 km above Kozhikode by road. The Urbania drives through unless someone wants a break. Near the town, at Puliyarmala, is the Anantnath Swami Jain temple, and Mananthavady, the other large Wayanad town, lies about 30 km to the north. Ahead the road rises gently to Vythiri and the Lakkidi viewpoint, where the long descent to the coast begins. Seniors should settle in before the bends.

Foot of the churam
At the bottom of the descent lies Thamarassery. Karinthandan, a tribal leader, is said to have helped find this pass, which then carried the spice trade down to Beypore. The Urbania takes the hairpins in low gear and can pull over here for five minutes if anyone needs air. Rubber and coconut fill the slopes around the town. Only about 30 km of flat road remain, so this is a good moment to call the hotel about check in.

Group drop
5 to 5.5 hours or so after leaving Mysore, the Urbania pulls up at the group's hotel in Kozhikode. Lunch is a good time to taste the Malabar cooking of the city, and most visitors take home a box of Kozhikodan halwa in bright colours. For anyone heading on by train, Kozhikode station is a major halt where every train stops. The van stays with the group for the afternoon, or returns the next morning for the drive back.
Want a Mysore to Kozhikode Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people for the beach, the food and the old port? From Mysuru it is roughly 210 km to Kozhikode (Calicut), via Gundlupet, Sulthan Bathery and the Thamarassery ghat. Quieter, more headroom, big windows. Pickup for the Kozhikode run is from a hotel near the palace or a hotel on Hunsur Road. We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with a driver, one rate for every size.

Wayanad is among the wettest parts of Kerala; Vythiri on this road gets about 3,840 mm a year, mostly between June and September. In those months the ghat is misty and slower, and landslips occasionally hold traffic. The Urbania crosses the ghat in daylight, and we keep a margin of time on wet days.
Main suitcases go behind the last row, and each traveller keeps a small hand bag with water, snacks and medicines. Put any travel sickness tablets in that hand bag before the hairpins. If you are carrying extra luggage, say for a wedding, tell us when booking so we can plan the space.
