Bandipur
Wildlife Stretch
Bangalore to Wayanad is the classic Karnataka-to-Kerala crossing. The route runs south through Mysore, then crosses the Bandipur–Mudumalai wildlife corridor before climbing the Thamarassery-like ghat roads into Wayanad. You get palace views, forest sightings, and mountain hairpins all in one long day. It is worth every kilometre, but it is a long drive — break it at Mysore if you can.

280 km — about 6 to 6.5 hours with short breaks. With a Mysore stop, treat it as a 7–8 hour relaxed transfer.
Yes — elephants, deer, wild boar, and occasionally leopards are visible from the road, especially at dawn and dusk. Do not get out of the vehicle.
No — the NH 766 forest stretch through Bandipur is closed 9 pm to 6 am. Night transfers must use the longer Gudalur–Mananthavady route.
Coorg is closer (265 km, 5–6 hrs) with coffee culture and waterfalls. Wayanad is further (280 km) but combines forest, viewpoints, and tribal heritage. They are just 95 km apart, so many travellers do both.
