A popular trek among beginners and pros, the adventure trail will take you through dense forests, large volcanic rocks, and wild flora and fauna. Some stretches of the trail are quite strenuous even for the experienced trekker, but the accompanying views make it worthwhile. This trek is wildly popular among people of Bangalore and nearby South Indian states. The trek is also known as Pushpagiri Trek.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Quick Facts<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20872\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20872\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal size-full wp-image-20872\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/kumara_parvatha_clif_Iww9C.jpg\" alt=\"Kumara Parvatha cliff\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/kumara_parvatha_clif_Iww9C.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/kumara_parvatha_clif_Iww9C-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/kumara_parvatha_clif_Iww9C-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/kumara_parvatha_clif_Iww9C-740x490.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20872\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kumara Parvatha cliff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Location:<\/b> Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Altitude:<\/b> 1712 metres<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Trek Time:<\/b> 8 to 10 hours (13 kilometres)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Difficulty Level:<\/b> Moderate to difficult<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"s1\"><b>Best Time For Kumara Parvatha Trek<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20874\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal wp-image-20874\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/view_of_kumara_parv_xCxL7.jpg\" alt=\"View of Kumara Parvatha\" width=\"800\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/view_of_kumara_parv_xCxL7.jpg 789w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/view_of_kumara_parv_xCxL7-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/view_of_kumara_parv_xCxL7-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/view_of_kumara_parv_xCxL7-740x517.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of Kumara Parvatha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">October to January and June to September are good months to trek to Kumara Parvatha.
