On the road
about 200 kilometers, largely to the northeast and roughly 5.5 hours on the road. The route leaves the coastal highway near Kozhikode and climbs into the highlands, so it pays to start early and travel comfortably.
The typical way to Wayanad runs on the national highway from Kochi through Thrissur and Kozhikode before the climb into the highlands around Kalpetta, the district headquarters.
The final stretch of the drive switches from coastal highway to ghat climbs — the part of the trip where a relaxed chauffeur makes a real difference to your day.
Wayanad is a hill station you stay at, not just pass through — coffee estates, tea plantations, and wildlife parks around Tholpetty and Muthanga.
