Along the Way
The Road from Karipur to Ooty
Your driver waits at the arrival exit of your terminal with a board showing your name. The car leaves Karipur through Kondotty and Areekode and follows the Chaliyar river inland. The Calicut Airport to Ooty via Nilambur route passes Edavanna and reaches Nilambur in about 1.5 hours. A Calicut Airport to Nilambur taxi ends here, at the town known for the world's oldest teak plantation. After Vazhikkadavu, the Calicut Airport to Ooty Nadukani ghat climbs steeply into Tamil Nadu through thick forest. Drivers take this stretch slowly, especially in fog. The road then passes Gudalur and Naduvattam's misty tea slopes to Ooty. The Calicut Airport to Ooty distance is about 160 km on this route. A Calicut Airport to Mudumalai taxi turns off at Gudalur for the tiger reserve and its jungle lodges. The Calicut Airport to Ooty via Wayanad road climbs the Thamarassery ghat instead and joins Gudalur from the north. It is about 40 km longer but useful when Nadukani has monsoon repairs.
No Return-Leg Charge
