==Night Traffic ban at Bandipura==<br />
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.<ref>{{cite web|title=Night traffic ban at Bandipur extended from 9 to 12 hours|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/205090/night-traffic-ban-bandipur-extended.html|publisher=Deccanherlad.com|access-date=2012-10-08}}</ref> 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]].<br />
