National Highway 212 (NH 212) is a National Highway in Southern India. NH 212 connects Kozhikode in Kerala with Kollegal in Karnataka via Mysore. Of the total distance of 250 km, 90 km is in Kerala and 160 is in Karnataka. At Kollegala, it joins National Highway 209, which connects Bengaluru and Dindigal.[1] At Gundlupete in Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka, NH-67 also touches NH-212.
The highway passes through dense forests of Western ghats of India. The NH-212 passes through Bandipur National Park and other reserve forests. The rapid rise in traffic of vehicles (Automobiles) in this highway has led to deaths of wild animals due to the speeding traffic, even though vehicles are not allowed from 9 P.M to 6 A.M in some stretches.[2]
