Delampady has no direct road link to Kerala; all nine approach roads run into Karnataka, so most provisions come from Ishwaramangala. The only Kerala connection is the two-kilometre Mayyala-Parappa forest track, six metres wide but untarred, with no bus service and elephants present almost constantly. Adoor, 13 km away, holds the panchayat office and most government offices; Mulleria is 20 km and Puttur 36 km.
Delampady is a Kerala village with no tarred road link to Kerala itself: the only connection is the two-kilometre Mayyala-Parappa forest track, six metres wide and unpaved, where wild elephants are present almost all the time, so no bus service runs there. Nine other approach roads all lead into Karnataka.
