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.

Kalyala falls, Madikeri, Karnataka

Kalyala falls, we were been to this place in wrong season, we didn't see much water as we expected but the experience to reach the kalyala falls is awesome. we were in our own vehicle to reach the target Kalyala falls, on the way to Madikeri - Mangalore highway near Sampaje, we took left turn towards kalyala, it's not a concrete road but still a car can reach to the top of the place. We have parked our vehicle nearby house, we been to so many places and lounged near by estates houses, finally we have found the way to kalyala falls, it is completely steep way, we have tried our best to get some good snaps but not happened, later we realized that we would have bring rope and accessories to go further in steep. It was just 50-50 experience ! after all it is a winter season.

How to reach kalyala falls.

1. On the way to Madikeri - Mangalore highway.
2. Take left turn near Sampaje.
3. By walk it would be difficult and too far, get your vehicle or hire any three wheeler near sampaje.
4. You will find the foot path way to Falls.
5. Beware of steepness.

Mandalpatti OR Mugilu pete, Madikeri District, Karnataka

Gaalipata a Kannada film was shoot at this place. It’s a winter we were not expected that we would see some greenery around Mandalpatti but we were not much disappointed and we were really excited in the evening lights and sunset. We had been to this place by walking the complete 5km from mandalpatti start gate.

Mandalpatti located around 18 km away from Madikeri, the road to mandalpatti is on the way to Abbi falls, once you started to travel on the way to Abbi falls road, you will see the road direction to mandalpatti, left deviation for Abbi falls and right deviation for mandalpatti, once you reach the mandalpatti gate you have to park your vehicle OR you have to take a ticket to your vehicle to reach mandalpatti Point, but the road condition is not so good to take non-utility vehicle, also you can hire a jeep to reach the mandalpatti point (Rs 600 -/- for up and down), we have parked our vehicle nearby and started to trek to reach mandalpatti point, of course we are trekking enthusiast, on the way we have tried to capture some macro shots, while passing nearby a pond we have seen elephant scat ! I appreciate Madikeri is a tourist place but it doesn’t make sense that they are charging fee at mandalpatti point even though you have paid for your vehicle as a ticket or you hired a jeep !

Sun is getting red we were prepared to take some good snaps of sunset, we are really surprised and satisfied as an amateur photographers and I would say mandallpatti made our trip as complete and a perfect end for a fantastic day.

How to reach mandalpatti

From Madikeri just pass on Abbi falls road for a kilometer you will see the two deviation and the right one will take you to Mandalpatti.
