Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Mysore
The car collects you from Ernakulam, Edappally, Kakkanad or a hotel on Marine Drive. An Ernakulam to Mysore taxi heads north on NH 66, and a Cochin Airport to Mysore taxi joins the coast road through Paravur. The driver confirms your Mysuru hotel and the forest timings before leaving. The first 190 km run to Kozhikode, where the car turns inland. The Kochi to Mysore via Wayanad route then climbs the Thamarassery churam, nine hairpin bends with wide views back over the plains. Viewpoint stops are short, as the road is busy. Wayanad's plateau brings coffee, pepper and cool air. Sulthan Bathery is the usual lunch stop before the forest begins at Muthanga, where your driver settles the Karnataka permit. Edakkal Caves and Chethalayam waterfall lie just off this stretch. Beyond Muthanga, the highway runs through the Bandipur Tiger Reserve. Vehicles are not allowed through between 9 pm and 6 am, so we always plan to clear the forest in daylight. Deer, elephants and peacocks are often seen from the road, especially early in the day. After Gundlupet, sunflower and marigold fields lead to Mysuru. The Kochi to Mysore distance by road is about 405 km. Some guests prefer the Kochi to Mysore via Coorg road through Virajpet, which is longer but avoids the forest timings.
