It falls under the “moderate” category as we hike up from the Somwarpet side.

It’s about a 7 Km hike from our forest check post at Beedehalli. That makes it around 14 Km trek up and down. Most of the trek path is covered by a thick forest that makes the climb all the more pleasant. Expect lots of rain, muddy trails, leeches during monsoons. Typically trekkers take around 7 to 8 hours to finish the Kumara Parvatha trek.

The months from Jun to Sept are special for Kumara Parvatha monsoon trek. It’s a great experience this time for the people who don’t care about getting drenched.
The months – Oct to Feb are very good to trek with clear skies, pleasant weather. Water will be available throughout the season at Mallalli waterfalls.
