The drive: which way to go
The Makkootam ghat is the shorter way up. The Wayanad road is longer but suits a night in Wayanad on the way.
Via Iritty and the Makkootam ghat
~176 km · about 5 h · via NH66, Iritty & Virajpet
North up the coast on NH66, then inland on the Thalassery to Coorg road through Iritty. The road climbs through the forest at Makkootam into Karnataka and on to Virajpet, then Madikeri. Do the ghat in daylight.
Through Wayanad, Kutta and Gonikoppal
~207 km · about 6 h · via Kalpetta, Kutta & Gonikoppal
About 31 km longer. Climb the Thamarassery ghat into Wayanad, cross north past Kalpetta to the Karnataka border at Kutta, then drive through the coffee country of south Coorg at Gonikoppal. Pick it if you are spending a night in Wayanad, or if the Makkootam road is shut.

Can I do Coorg as a day trip from Calicut?
Not really. It is about 10 hours of driving there and back. Stay at least two nights: Coorg's sights are spread out, and two days covers the main ones.
Is there a train to Coorg?
No. Coorg has no railway. From Calicut the cab goes all the way; Kannur airport, about 92 km from Madikeri, is the nearest airport.
When is the best time to go?
October to March, when the roads are dry and the views clear. From June to September heavy rain can close tourist spots by district order, and Dubare shuts when the river is high. Talacauvery is crowded in mid-October for the Tula Sankramana festival.
