Prices change with the date, the season and demand, so check the site before you book. Cabsguru does not sell these trips.
- Distance 274 km

Road distance from Kozhikode railway station to the Munnar bus stand. The last 70 km from Kothamangalam is a winding hill road, so allow up to 8 hours with stops.
What to see in Munnar
Tea estates, lakes and high viewpoints, and two waterfalls on the road up. Two days covers the main sights.
Cheeyappara Waterfalls
A seven-step waterfall right beside the road near Neriamangalam, about 45 km before Munnar, so you pass it on the way up. Park only where the road is wide.
Eravikulam National Park
Grassy hills north of town, home to the Nilgiri tahr, a mountain goat found only in the Western Ghats. Forest buses run up from the gate. It closes for about two months a year, usually February and March.
Tea Museum
A museum in a working tea estate just north of town, with old machines and a tasting at the end. Open 09:00 to 17:00; closed on Mondays.
Mattupetty Dam
A long lake between tea-covered hills about 7 km from town on the Top Station road, with speed and pedal boats from the jetty. Go early or on a weekday.
Kundala Lake
A quiet lake behind an old arch dam, ringed by eucalyptus and tea, with pedal boats and shikaras. It is on the Top Station road, so stop on the way back.
Top Station
The highest point on the Munnar to Kodaikanal road, about 33 km from town, looking down into Tamil Nadu. Go early, before the cloud fills the valley.
The drive: which way to go
The road through Thrissur is the shortest. Athirapally Falls makes a long day longer, but it is the big stop near the way.
Via Thrissur, Angamaly and NH85
~274 km · about 7 h · via Thrissur, Angamaly & Kothamangalam
Down to Thrissur, south on NH544 to Angamaly, then east to Kothamangalam, where the hill road starts. The Cheeyappara and Valara falls are beside the road after Neriamangalam. Leave Calicut by 06:00 to reach Munnar before dark.
Via Athirapally Falls
~315 km · a long day · via Chalakudy & Athirapally
Turn off NH544 at Chalakudy for Athirapally Falls, then rejoin the road to Kothamangalam. It adds about 40 km and 2 hours of driving, plus your time at the falls. Better as a night's stop than squeezed into one day.

How long is the drive from Calicut to Munnar?
About 274 km and 7 hours via Thrissur and Kothamangalam. Allow up to 8 hours with meal stops and traffic on the hill road after Adimali.
Should I break the trip in Kochi?
It helps if you want to see Kochi too. Calicut to Ernakulam is about 192 km on the coast road, and Kochi to Munnar about 126 km more, so splitting the trip turns one long day into two easy ones.
Can the cab pick me up at Calicut airport?
Yes. The airport at Karipur is south-east of the city, towards Thrissur, so the ride to Munnar is a little shorter, about 254 km.
Is there a train to Munnar?
No. Munnar has no railway. The Jan Shatabdi takes about 3.5 hours from Kozhikode to Ernakulam Junction, and a cab from there to Munnar takes about 4 hours.
When is the best time to go?
September to May. The monsoon from June to August brings heavy rain and sometimes landslides on the hill road. Eravikulam National Park closes for about two months for the tahr calving, usually February and March.
