    If you take a bus from Calicut to Wayanad Bus Stand it’s a straight through service that runs about 7 to 8 hours. From the bus stand the local bus to the Chembra trailhead takes roughly 1½ to 2 hours, so you’re looking at a total of about 9 hours from the airport. The cab option is quicker about 4½ hours but the bus can be cheaper if you book early. If you’re staying in the area, the Sterling Vythiri Wayanad hotel is a short walk from the bus stand, which makes catching the next leg easy.
