Sharath Hassan A Travelling Photographer: Pushpagiri or Kumara Parvatha

Kumara parvatha, a famous trekking place in Western Ghats of Karnataka, It was a fearsome experience, we were started from Somvarpet to trek kumara parvatha, we have hired an auto around 6:30 PM to reach Hegdemane which is near Beedalli, we had our dinner at Nandish house a nearby home, food was very tasteful and clean too, after the dinner we decided to stay at shantha Mallikarjuna Temple, we slept inside the temple premises in our tent !, We waked up around 4:30 AM and got freshen, filled water bottles and started to trek 5:00 AM, we reached Beedalli forest office, we were lucky forest guards were sleeping we passed without fee.. We stopped intermittently to take rest, we have reached the view point around 7:00 AM we took beautiful shots of sunrise at Somvarpet mountains. Passed further and we took left side path for pushpagiri, finally we have reached Kumaraparvatha top, we spent some time there and started to move on to catch some more shots of pushpagiri mountains range, it’s a perfect colors of winter season, blue sky providing the perfect contrast to nature, we met many trekking enthusiast on the way we were getting down, we reached Guddadahalli forest office, forest guard was not checked our tickets while going there filled the water bottles again, we have moved further to Bhattara mane, I was felt bad looking at the too much house flies on food stuffs, later I took bread and Jam instead of Bhattara mane food, I appreciate his effort on bringing all those facility in the remote place I believe that it will not be useful unless have some level of hygienic !, from Bhattara mane we were started our way back to Subramanya to put end for the fantastic trekking experience.
