Trek to Kumaraparvata-2013 [Dakshina Kannada], Karnataka, India

(My trekking On South India's TOUGHEST Peak Kumaraparvata with family) 

Me with my family and trekmate Mr. Shambhuprasad from Bangalore

Kumara Parvatha in Dakshina kannada[DK] ( Kumarparvata) is a trekker’s paradise, located on the border between the Dakshina Kannada[DK] [southern karnataka] and Kodagu districts of Karnataka. The highest point is the Pushpagiri temple at 1710 mts from the sea level. The whole region falls under the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary. 

Biggest draw to the trek is difficulty level of the route and the freedom to pitch the tent at the top (I mean, literally at the very top). Trek to Kumara Parvatha(to Pushpagiri Temple) is considered to be one of the most challenging treks in Karnataka. There are two approaches to the Pushpagiri temple, one from Beedahalli(7kms – Kodagu district) and other one from Kukke Subramanya(14kms – Dakshina Kannada[DK] district). Generally, one side is the approach route and the other side is the descent route, based on ones choice.

A Trip to Manali, Kullu & Naggaar Castle In Himanchal Pradesh

The most charming and beautiful Kullu valley spreads out its charm on either side of river Beas. Kullu was once known as Kulanthpitha, which means the end of the habitable world. Beyond rose the forbidding heights of the Greater Himalayas and by the banks of the shining river Beas, lay the fabled 'Silver Valley'. The valley runs north to south of Beas river and is 80 km long and about 2kms wide.

This town is famous for its temples and the annual Dushera festival, both of which attract thousands of tourists. The town of Kullu has long been a centre of faith. In 17th century, Raja Jagat Singh installed here an idol of Lord Raghunathji, which he brought from Ayodhya. As a mark of his penance, he placed the idol on his throne and it became the presiding deity of the valley.
