Along the Way
The Road from Kannur to Wayanad
Pickups run from Kannur railway station, Thavakkara, Payyambalam or any home in Kannur district. The car heads south-east through Chalode and Kuthuparamba, a busy town known for its weavers and markets. The Kannur to Wayanad via Nedumpoil route climbs the Periya ghat through thick forest and tea, reaching Boys Town at the top. On clear days the viewpoints look back over the Kannur plains to the sea. A Kannur to Mananthavady taxi reaches north Wayanad's main town, where the Pazhassi Raja memorial and busy spice markets sit close together. The Kannur to Wayanad distance by road is about 80 km to Mananthavady. The Kannur to Wayanad via Kottiyoor road passes the Kottiyoor forest temple and climbs the steep Palchuram ghat. It is narrow, so drivers use it mainly in the dry season and during the temple festival in May and June. From Mananthavady, a Kannur to Thirunelli temple taxi continues 30 km to the ancient Vishnu shrine in the Brahmagiri hills. A Kannur to Tholpetty taxi covers the wildlife sanctuary jeep safari, and a Kannur to Kuruva island taxi visit crosses bamboo rafts to the river islands, open in the dry season under forest rules.
