Wayanad to Nandi Hills is a comfortable one-day drive of 342 km, mostly on Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway and Kozhikode - Kollegal Highway.
You cross 10 toll plazas across Kerala, Karnataka. For a car the published fees add up to ₹480 one way, about ₹1.41 per km, which is on the expensive side for Indian highways. 5 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹400 extra to be safe.
Nandi Hills is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.

Petrol is cheapest in Karnataka (₹111.30/L) and dearest in Kerala (₹114.57/L). Filling the ~23 litres you need in Karnataka saves about ₹74 versus buying it all in Kerala.
For the same sedan, fuel for one way costs ₹2,609 on petrol, ₹1,860 on diesel and about ₹976 on electric (public fast charging at ₹20/kWh; home charging is far cheaper). An EV with ~350 km real range needs about 1 charging stop on the way.
The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 5 crossings one way — worth about ₹77 of pass value against ₹480 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.
Return within 24 hours and the car toll for the round trip is ₹710 instead of ₹960 — a 26% discount that FASTag applies automatically.
About ₹880 one way with FASTag across 10 plazas — ₹480 in published fees plus ~₹400 estimated for 5 plazas that don't publish rates. A return within 24 hours costs ₹1,510. Without FASTag you pay 1.25x by UPI: ₹1,101.

About 23 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹2,609 at Wayanad prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~19 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~31 L.
Around ₹3,489 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹2,609 + toll ₹880), or ₹6,729 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹872 each, one way.
Plan on about 6 h 40 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 4 h 44 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹2,910, 3-axle ₹3,335, 4–6 axle ₹4,600, 7+ axle ₹5,545 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Nandi Hills to Wayanad toll is the same ~₹880 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Nandi Hills's state price.
