Answer 1

Answer:

D. NH 544

• Correct Answer: Option B - NH 766

• The Thamarassery Pass, also known as Wayanad Pass, is a mountain pass that connects Kozhikode district to Wayanad district in Kerala. National Highway 766 (NH 766) passes through this mountain pass. This highway was formerly known as NH 212 before the renumbering of national highways in India.

• NH 766 is an important highway that runs from Kozhikode in Kerala to Kollegal in Karnataka, passing through Wayanad district. The Thamarassery Pass section of this highway features nine hairpin bends and offers spectacular views of the Western Ghats.

• The pass is located in Kozhikode district (as mentioned in one of the similar questions) and serves as a crucial transportation link between the coastal areas of Kerala and the hilly regions of Wayanad.
