Named among one of the toughest hiking routes in South India, the Kumara Parvatha peak, is a least explored gem of a hiking destination. Nestled among the gorgeous chain of Pushpagiri mountain range, the Kumara Parvatha is a delight for the adventure lovers, and it is for sure a challenging one. It is the second highest peak in Coorg, standing 5624 feet above sea level. Best enjoyed during the pre-monsoon season, the 16 km hiking route is pretty tiring, however, it is worth the strenuous climb. As you push your way up the mountain through the thick jungle, it rewards you liberally by unveiling some of the spell bounding vistas of nature.
You have two options to start your trail from, one is from Bidalli [Somwarpet] and other is from the famous Kukke Subramanya Temple. The later is the most preferred route by travellers, since it is more scenic with lush green grasslands, gorgeous meadows, gleaming waterfalls and panoramic views of the mighty Western Ghats.
