Coorg to Wayanad by Cab — Why It Works
Coorg to Wayanad is a cross-state mountain drive entirely through the Western Ghats. You cross from Karnataka into Kerala via the Brahmagiri hills — a wildlife corridor connecting Nagarhole Tiger Reserve to Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. The road passes through teak and coffee forests with good chances of spotting wild elephants and bison near Mananthavady. This is the most scenic way to experience two of South India's finest highland destinations in one trip.

Driving Tips
