The Experience
A serious climb,
a real reward.
The Kumara Parvatha — the Pushpagiri Trek — is widely considered one of South India's most challenging and rewarding treks. We take the gentler Beedahalli / Somwarpet route through the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary: shorter than the Kukke side, but still a serious climb.
A serious climb
Steep, rooty and rewarding — high endurance and some experience recommended.
Shola forest
Misty shola forest, grassland and streams through Pushpagiri WLS.
Reaching the top
The summit cairn, after a long and hard-won climb.
Local guides
People who know this mountain in every season, leading from the front.
Base & checkpost
Fresh-up and breakfast at the Beedahalli base before the climb.
Above the clouds
The payoff — a sea of cloud and forested valleys from the ridge.
