Night Traffic ban at Bandipura
The Karnataka government banned  night traffic through the road passing through Bandipur National Park as conservationists argued that it is disturbing the wildlife from 9 P.M up to 6 A.M. It is closed for 2 wheelers from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M. The alternate road to use during night hours is, leave NH 766 at Kalpetta and proceed to Mysore through Mananthavady, Kutta, Gonikoppal, and Hunsur. This alternate route is much longer and completely bypasses Sulthan Bathery, Gundlupet and Nanjangud.
