Kumaraparvatha Trek (Dec 13th & 14th' 2008)

Place and Trek Summery

Kumaraparvatha or Pushpagiri standing at 1,712 meters is the highest peak in Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. It is located in Somwarpet taluk in the northern part of Coorg district.

Kumaravarvatha can be scaled from either the Subramanya side or the Somwarpet side.We will be taking the Somwarpet side as its more scenic and we pass through waterfalls and streams and coming down Subramanya side.

We start the trek from a sleepy village about 20 kms from Somwarpet. Initially we pass through villages and paddy fields gradually entering some hills with beautiful views of the Magindi waterfalls, Bisle ghat and the Pishpagiri Range. Spend some time here watching the beauty of the hills, forests and river flowing below falling into the Magundi falls and continuing along into the valley. Great spot for some nice shots. We continue passing a stream on the way and a small break to refresh over selves. After the forest check post we pass a stream where we will have lunch and then continue along through thicker forests with patches of bamboo groves frequented by elephants. The last stretch is a steep climb over hills and long rock faces some at 60 degree angles. Reach by late afternoon and pitch tents .View the beautiful scenery from the top of Kumaraparvatha. Later make a campfire and cook dinner.

Next day after breakfast we climb down Subramanya side. After passing though a few hills we reach open grasslands and later good forest cover. Today its mostly down for the entire stretch. By late afternoon we reach Subramanya and after lunch we leave for Bangalore.
