En route to Mysore on NH 766, past Wayanad district boundary, which is also the Kerala state boundary, NH 766 passes through Bandipur National Park. There is a night traffic ban imposed on this stretch since 2009.[1] The alternate road to take is, leave NH766 at Kalpetta and proceed to Mysore through Mananthavady, Kutta, Gonikoppal, and Hunsur. The authorities has announced new National Highway connecting Mysore with Malappuram via Gonikoppa, Kutta, Mananthavadi, Kuttiyadi, Naduvannur, Atholi, Purakkatteri joining Kozhikode byepass. However there is a protest against this as part of protest against Night Travel ban in NH766 as this proposed Highway will be an alternative route but it may make NH766 closed forever in future and Sulthan Bathery will no longer have connection to Karnataka.
