Kumara Parvata Trek

The Kumara Parvatha trek is one of the most popular treks in Karnataka. It is the second highest peak in the state after Tadiyandamol. It is located in the district of Coorg and begins in the village of Subramanya. The summit is located behind the famous Kukke Subramanya temple in the village

The trek includes two peaks, the smallest Shesh Parvatha and the highest, Kumara Parvatha at 5,600 feet. Legend has it that Shesh Parvatha protects the Kukke Subramanya Temple at the base.

The two-day trek covers a distance of 14 km. The route is closed during the monsoon and opens in October until February. The trail is beautiful, winding through thick hardwood forests and vast meadows. Steep climbs in some parts make the task slightly difficult. Hikers should pay attention to leeches, especially just after the monsoon.

This trek takes you through beautiful dense forests with steep climbs. The trek is ideal for beginners or experienced hikers. The peak offers a panoramic view of fascinating western ghats, deep jungles and deep cliffs.

Behind the temple, we have a small path that connects us to the vastness of the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary. It is advisable to stay at a safe distance from the drop. Be humble, strong and calm like a mountain. We can see the wonderful Shesha Parvatha from this point.
