Hi Monika, about the roadway - the above answerers have provided you the a good route - bangalore - mysore - calicut to kottakkal. The roads in parts are bad (lots of pot holes), but overall ok from what my uncle told me. i was in kottakkal for a long time, and my uncle (from b'lore) drove from there to kottakkal. It took about 10 hours (non-stop). I think it might be better to take a flight to calicut from b'lore instead.. or take a flt from blr to chennai then from chennai to calicut. there are many taxis at the airport in calicut. There are a LOT more choices by air from Chennai than from B'lore. Of course you can detour via Kochi or can go to Coimbature then drive (prepaid taxi) to Kottakkal - total it'll be about 5-6 hours including flight! I've tried the Coimbature route. It's a beautiful, scenic route!!
Anyhow if you're at Calicut airport, it takes about 45 minutes drive to reach kottakkal from there. the whole time (from B'lore to Chennai to Calicut to Kottakkal) would be like 3 hours vice 10 hours - unless of course you purposely want to explore other parts while travelling! It's a tiring journey if all you're interested in doing is going straight to kottakkal.
please feel free to email me if you want to know more about kottakkal, especially if this is your first visit to the place.

You should reach Calicut (Kozhikode) first, from Bangalore. Drive from Bangalore to Calicut through Gundulpet and Sulthan Battery. But be cautioned that the small stretch of jungle you have to pass through.
The distance between Calicut - Kottakkal (Malappuram District) is hardly 48 kms.
Happy journey.
