What the road asks of you

This route crosses into Kerala

Leaving Karnataka for Kerala means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Kerala, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.

A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre

A return journey is charged for at least 300 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 271 km each way, so 542 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 900 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.

The forest road closes at night

Past Gundlupet the highway crosses the Bandipur and Muthanga forests, which are closed to traffic from 9 pm to 6 am. Arrive at the forest after 9 pm and the car waits at the gate until morning, so work the start time back from there.

Wayanad is a district, not a town

Sulthan Bathery is nearest the Karnataka border, Kalpetta is in the middle and Mananthavady is to the north. Give the place your resort is in when you book; the difference between them can be an hour.

What is there

Worth knowing before you go

  • The ghat roads in are hairpinned and slow, whichever direction you come from.
  • Distances between the sights are real distances — this is a district, not a town.
