Trekking to Kumara Parvata

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:35:38 +0530

Trekking to Kumara Parvata peak is considered the toughest in Karnataka. The mountain is sandwiched between the borders of Dakshina Kannada and Kodagu districts. A few facts

Famous as toughest trek in Karnataka.
Route 1: Kukke Subramanya - Girigadde - Mantap - KP Peak.
Route 2: Somwarpat - Bidalli - KP Peak. This is from Coor side
People starts from one side and descends at the others. You can also descend the same way down.
Kukke Subramanya is 230 KM from Bangalore.
The first few hour of walk from Sumbrananya is through thick forest. Then you break into an open grass filled hills.
At 1712m, KP peak is the third highest in Karnataka.
KP peak is also known as Pushpagiri. Giri in Kanada means peak.
At Girigadde, there’s the famous Bhatt’ house where trekkers stop for food.

I am leaving on a BMC’s classic trek to Kumara Parvata tonight. I am really excited.

Last night I finished my 19th Sidney Sheldon novel - “Memories of Midnight”. I started with “Are You Afraid of the Dark” last summer.

It’s been a great one year journey with Sidney. I did most of the reading late night after clearing my rss feeds and during my hour long journey to office every weekday. I also did (not the other one :-) ) a few chapters in the toilet at work :-)
