Pickup in Mysuru
The Urbania picks up the group at 7 am from one or two places in Mysuru, a home, a hotel or the station. Sultan Bathery is about two and a half hours away with a halt. Rather than cross the busy centre, the van uses the outer ring road around the city to reach the Nanjangud road. Seniors take the front seats, and the bags go behind the last row. The group should be in Wayanad well before lunch.

Darshan halt
Nanjangud comes about thirty minutes out, and the Urbania can stop for a calm darshan at the Srikanteshwara temple by the Kapila. The oldest part, the sanctum, is from Chola times, and the outer wall carries 122 carved figures of Shiva. We park near the entrance so older travellers walk only a few steps. A smaller Parashurama shrine stands nearby at a meeting of two rivers. Modest dress is expected, and thirty minutes is usually enough before the van moves on.

Tea halt
Gundlupet is the tea stop, a quarter of an hour where anyone who prefers can remain in the cool van and have tea brought over. At about 816 m and on the dry side of the hills, the town gets a fraction of Wayanad's rain. In the rainy months its farms bloom with marigold, sunflower and globe amaranth, much of it trucked to Kerala for Onam. Diesel goes in here too, because the forest road ahead has no pumps and no halts.

Forest road
Next comes Muthanga, a range of the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary created in 1973; at about 344 sq km it is Kerala's second largest. Teak covers most of it, and elephants, gaur, sloth bear and deer live here, along with nesting vultures. The Urbania keeps moving, as halting is forbidden. If the group wants a safari during the stay, only forest department jeeps go in, and tickets are sold at the counter in order of arrival. Bathery is a few minutes beyond.

Group drop
Two and a half hours from Mysore, the Urbania drops the group at its hotel in Sultan Bathery. The town stands at about 900 m, noticeably cooler than Mysore, so seniors will want a shawl in the evening. For a quiet first afternoon, the Wayanad Heritage Museum at Ambalavayal is close and indoors. Cricket lovers can look up the Krishnagiri ground near town, among the highest in India. A Kerala lunch is easy to find on the main road.

The Urbania covers about 115 km from Mysore to Sultan Bathery, so plan on about 230 km for the round trip. Its road is NH766, past the temple town of Nanjangud and Gundlupet and then through the Bandipur and Muthanga forest into Wayanad. With one halt the drive takes about 2.5 hours.
Yes. Quiet cabin, captain seats in the smaller sizes, and the driver waits at the meeting.
Neither. You pay GST, tolls, parking and the Kerala vehicle permit at actual cost; the rate already covers fuel, driver and AC.

Yes, quoted when you ask. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Only for night driving, which the 9 pm forest closure usually rules out. On our Mysore card that is ₹700 a night.
June to September is the wet season in Wayanad, and July is usually the wettest month. The highway stays open, but mist and rain slow the drive, and some outdoor sights can close. Carry umbrellas and keep a change of clothes in the cabin. The plateau side near Gundlupet stays much drier.
Yes. It is a short drive of about two and a half hours, with a halt at Gundlupet where seniors should use the restroom, since the Urbania cannot stop in the forest. Bathery hotels near the main road are easy to reach. Choose ground floor rooms and avoid places on steep estate roads.
