Kumaraparvatha, Karnataka

 

Kumaraparvatha is the belongs to the western Ghat mountains range and is very close to the famous pilgrimage center Shri Kukke Subrahmanya Kshetra in South Canara District of Karnataka. About 4000 feet above sea level, it lies to the east of the temple. It will be a 18 Kilometer Journey (trekking/hiking) from the temple to the mountain peak. This is an ideal place for people who are interested in exploring and trekking. But as of now, there are no facilities or amenities to get there, nor can the climbers/hikers find any place to stay on the way. Moreover the hikers will have to take with them food that will suffice for their entire journey and they will have to get the help of the guides (difficult to find) who are thoroughly conversant with the place. At a distance of 12 Km from the temple one comes across a place called 'Girimutt'. Remnants of the houses and farms, which date back to more than five hundred years, can still be found there. It is said that a 'Jangama Mutt' (Lingayat) existed in this place in the past. A Mantapa of stone sixteen feet in length and eight feet in breadth is found here even now. This is supported in four corners by four pillars with engravings and is roofed with slabs of stone. This gives us the impression that even this mountainous region must have been thickly populated in the past and that gifted sculptors must have thrived here in those bygone days. From this place onwards the trekking path becomes very steep and rises almost like a vertical wall. The view from the top of this mountain is extremely beautiful. The forests with their myriad trees and the agriculture fields of South canara smiling with splendor of tender crop in the west, the estates of Coorg in the south east, the plains of Mysore clad in green in the north-east and Western Ghats standing up right like the soldiers on guard provide a feast for the sore eyes.
