Worth knowing about this route
This route crosses into Karnataka
Leaving Kerala for Karnataka 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 Karnataka, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
