Calicut - Kalpetta - Mananthavady road is in very good condition. Mananthavady to Kutta is through the forest (if you know the route to Thirunelli its the same, just take RIGHT at the only fork inside the forest to reach Kutta).
From Kutta onwards the road is usually in dilapidated condition. Roads in this part of Karnataka are (sadly) neglected as a rule so dont expect any surprises. Kutta onwards to the nearest town is usually in cratered condition, thankfully it isnt much of a distance.
I'd recommend this route over the CBE-Sathy-Chamrajpet-Mysore road - that route is quite nice but can get tedious after a while. You start wondering when Nanjangud would turn up.
If you're REALLY adventurous you'd try the Kannur-Virajpet route via Iritty. Not for the faint-hearted, I believe.
