Kumara Parvatha

Kumara Parvatha is located in the Somwarpet taluk of Kodagu district. One can view Kumara Parvatha from kukke Subramanya. The greenery behind the temple which we can see is non other than kumara Parvatha.

We started here (Bangalore) on friday night 9.00 PM i.e 3rd of October 2014 from Majestic bus stand and reached Subramanya on 4th morning 5.00 AM. After freshen up, a quick visit to the temple and a breakfast before we start the trek.

We reached the starting point of the trek around 9 AM. Started with enthusiasm. It takes almost 3 and half to 4 hours to reach the famous "Bhattara Mane" which is 6.5 kms from the starting point. You will find Unlimited rice, Sambar and butter milk for 90 Rs.

We started the second stage of the trek around 2.30 PM and reached Mantapa which is 2 km from Bhatara Mane and we decided to halt there that night. The complete silence makes us a bit scare.

We decide to get up early morning by 5.30 and start to trek by 7. We reached Sheshaparvatha at 8.30 AM. Take few pics of the nature which is just covered with greenery and mist. There is a thick forest to reach the final destination Kumara Parvatha and we reach there by 9.30 AM.

Again we start Kumara Parvatha by 10.30 AM and back to Bhattara Mane by 1.30 PM for the pucca Lunch. As we were tired, decided to rest for some time and started by 4 from Bhattara Mane. As soon as we started from Bhattara Mane, the thunder and lightning begins. Finally it rains. We thought its better to continue rather than stopping in the dense forest and we kept going until we reach the starting point.

Reached the starting point by 5.30 PM with our luggage and the tent. A few leeches sucked our blood. So I would suggest you to take salt. Carry only Food, Torch, Glucose, First Aid Kit and water.
