I'm aware the roads upto Mysore about 450 kms is good. While I'm not sure of the balance 250 Kms from Mysore to Kannur.

Please if any one had taken this route recently, please confirm how long will this stretch take to cover, as i will be reaching Mysore by around 1:00 Pm if i start at around 6:00AM from chennai.

I'm planning to halt in mysore for a couple of hours before we proceed further.
I wouldnt suggest the coorg route, the roads are pathetic.
you have two options

mysore-nanjangud-gundulpet-sultan battery-meenangadi-mananthavady-koothuparamba-kannur - 250-260kms approx.

or

mysore-nanjangud-gundulpet-sultan battery-meenangadi-kalpetta-thamarasserry-koyilandi-vadakara-thalassery-kannur - 300kms approx


reaching mysore by 1pm is difficult unless you are really fast. assuming 5.5-6hrs chennai -blr & 2.5-3hrs blr mysore. & 1hr from elect.city to mysore road.
