How to reach Wayanad from Mysore
Wayanad is easily accessible from Mysore as the 140-km drive via NH 766 takes only around 3 to 4 hours. There is no direct train to Wayanad from Mysore. You can board a train to the nearest railway station in Kozhikode, followed by a 2.5-hour drive to the hill station. For air travelers, Calicut International Airport is the nearest airport.
