If you are flying
What the road asks of you
This route crosses into Kerala
Leaving Karnataka for Kerala 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 Kerala, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre
A return journey is charged for at least 250 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 279 km each way, so 558 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 750 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.
What is there
Edakkal Caves
Rock shelters with prehistoric carvings, reached on foot up the hill.
Banasura Sagar Dam
An earth dam and reservoir with boating.
Chembra Peak
The trek to the heart-shaped lake below the summit.
Soochipara Falls
A three-tiered waterfall in the forest near Meppadi.
Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
Forest on the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu borders.
Worth knowing before you go
- The ghat roads in are hairpinned and slow, whichever direction you come from.
- Distances between the sights are real distances — this is a district, not a town.
