Kumara Parvatha Trek - Beedehalli to Kukke
Trek at a glance
Trek overview
While a weekend getaway to Coorg might sound like something too clichéd, you’ll be surprised to know that the region has some amazing trek trails, providing numerous opportunities to travel enthusiasts to explore the entire area surrounded by the Western Ghats. Plan The Unplanned has already taken you up there till Tadiyandamol, Kopatty, Nishani Motte and other places, but now it’s time to head towards another new destination, Kumara Parvatha.
Kumara Parvatha, also popularly known as Pushpagiri (5,624 feet above sea level), is the second-highest mountain in the Western Ghats mountain range, situated in the Kodagu district of Karnataka, after Tadiandamol. If compared to the other treks in this region, Kumara Parvatha is a little tougher, but nonetheless, beautiful. The trekking trail runs through the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, and you’ll be getting up close and personal with nature during this journey.
You’ll be exposed to the majestic mountains, the valleys painted with the most amazing shades of green, little brooks and some surprises that nature has to offer en route.
Considered as one of the best treks in India, Kumara Parvatha should be there on your checklist if you are an adventure junkie – dare not to miss it out!
