Description
Kumara Parvatha, standing at an elevation of 1712 meters in the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary is the 6th highest peak of Karnataka, 2nd highest in Coorg. It is popular among both beginners and experienced trekkers. There are two routes for this trek from two different districts in the state. One may either trek from the Kukke Subrahmanya side or the Somwarpet side.
Our idea is to scale the summit by trekking for a day, and refresh the second day at the gurgling waters of Mallalli waterfalls in Coorg. So we shall do the trek from Somwarpet side. This route is also more conducive owing to the fact that most of the trek is through dense Shola forests, providing that all-important shade on a tough trail. There are a couple of waterfalls we will encounter in this trail.
