Our Kannur to Bangalore cab covers roughly 320 km in 7–8 hours, climbing the Makkuttam Ghat into Coorg, crossing the Mysore plains and finishing on the Bangalore–Mysore expressway. It is a scenic alternative to flying or overnight buses, ideal for families with luggage and for travellers who want stops in Coorg or Srirangapatna on the way. Drops are available anywhere in Bangalore, including the airport.

One-way fares include fuel and driver allowance (minimum 130 km). Round-trip fares are for the same car returning to Kannur, billed at the round-trip rate with a daily minimum. Tolls, parking and interstate permits are extra where they apply. Tempo Travellers, Urbania and mini buses are available for round trips.
From Kannur the road heads inland through Mattannur and Iritty, then winds up the Makkuttam Ghat to Virajpet in south Coorg. Passing Gonikoppal and the forest near Titimati, it reaches Hunsur and then the Mysore ring road. From Mysore, the access-controlled expressway carries you past Srirangapatna, Mandya and Ramanagara to Bangalore in around two hours, depending on the drop point. The ghat section is slow but scenic; the expressway makes up time at the end. Plan a meal break in Coorg or Mysore.
Monsoon months (June to September) turn the hills a deep green but bring mist, heavy rain and slower ghat driving on the way to Bangalore; landslide closures are possible in very wet spells. October to March is the most comfortable time, while long weekends bring heavier traffic around the hill towns.
For seven to eight hours on the road, an Innova or Innova Crysta keeps families comfortable; sedans suit up to four light travellers. For two to four passengers a Swift Dzire or Toyota Etios is economical and comfortable. Families with more luggage usually pick a Maruti Ertiga, Toyota Innova or Innova Crysta, and groups can choose a Tempo Traveller 12+1, Force Urbania 16+1 or a mini bus.
