National Highway 766 (NH 766) (previously NH-212) is a National Highway in Southern India. NH 766 connects Kozhikode in Kerala with Kollegal in Karnataka via Mysore. Of the total distance of 272 km, 117 km is in Kerala and 155 is in Karnataka. At Kollegal, it joins National Highway 948, which connects Bengaluru and Coimbatore. The highway passes through dense forests of Western ghats of India. The NH-766 passes through 19.7 km Bandipur National Park and Wayanad wild life sanctuary.[1]
The section of the road from Lakkidi in Wayanad to Adivaram (Thamarassery) called as Thamarassery Churam (A hill highway with nine hairpin bends) offers a scenic drive. NHAI is considering Wayanad Tunnel as a bypass for Thamarassery Ghat in NH 766 and currently undertaking DPR studies for making Kunnamangalam to Kalpetta stretch realigning via SH 83. As Wayanad Tunnel is already a 4 lane road and have got all Environmental Clearances including Stage-II Forest Clearance, there is a high-demand to realign NH 766 via this route and make Kozhikode - Muthanga - Mysore road through Wayanad Tunnel.

Night Traffic ban at Bandipura
The Karnataka government banned night traffic from 9 P.M. up to 6 A.M. through the road passing through Bandipur National Park as conservationists argued that it is disturbing the wildlife. It is closed for 2-wheelers from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M.[2] The alternate road to use during night hours is from Kalpetta to Mysore via Mananthavady, Kutta, Gonikoppal, and Hunsur. This alternate route is much longer and completely bypasses Sulthan Bathery, Gundlupet and Nanjangud covering 352 kilometres (219 mi) distance.[3]
