What Affects the Price

Distance: At ~285 km each way, Wayanad is one of the longer weekend-getaway drives from Bangalore, so total running distance is the biggest cost factor.

Interstate permit: Crossing from Karnataka into Kerala requires a valid interstate permit — already built into our vehicles, so there's no separate charge or paperwork on your end.

Trip length: Most travellers book 2D1N or 3D2N given the drive time, which adds an extra day's driver bata compared to a single-night trip.

Season: Monsoon and long weekends (especially Oct–Jan) see higher demand and can push quoted rates up.

FAQ

Do I need a permit to cross into Kerala for Wayanad?

No, you don't need to arrange anything — all our vehicles already carry the necessary interstate permits for Kerala routes like Wayanad.

Is Wayanad a one-day or overnight trip from Bangalore?

Almost always overnight — at ~285 km and 6.5 hours each way, a same-day return doesn't leave enough time to see the caves, wildlife sanctuary and viewpoints.

Which vehicle suits a family of 5–6 for Wayanad?

An Innova Crysta or XUV comfortably fits 6–7 with luggage for a 2–3 day trip; larger families or groups of 8–9 are better off in a Tempo Traveller AC.
