Bangalore to Wayanad Night Drive Restrictions
• On the popular route via Bandipur Tiger Reserve along National Highway 766 (NH-766), there's a night travel ban from 9 pm to 6 am in the forest section for wildlife protection and traveller safety. It is advisable not to enter Wayanad late at night via this route, so you should start early. There is an alternate route via Mananthavady - Kutta - Gonikoppa that allows night travel, but it's longer.
• As night driving through forested hilly terrain makes visibility lower, there may be wildlife or landslides. So, it is highly recommended to start early and avoid driving after dusk.
• As services (fuel, food) may be limited late at night on these routes, plan your stops accordingly.
• Check live traffic updates and confirm gate timings before you set off.
• Drive slowly and attentively through forest stretches, watch for animals, sudden bends, or fog.
• If you're forced to stop or arrive after dark and find yourself delayed, consider stopping overnight before entering the forest section.
• Ensure your vehicle is in good condition and that your mobile has sufficient battery and signal.
