Check status first: in April 2026 the state stopped the 21 km Kumara Parvatha trek route and barred treks longer than 19 km. The shorter Beedahalli (Kodagu) approach is reported as about 7 km one way, but only plan on it if Aranya Vihaara lists it as bookable for your date. Only for fit trekkers, with a mandatory guide and no overnight stays inside the sanctuary.
Kumara Parvatha is the highest peak in the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Forest Department opened the Beedahalli route alongside the longer Kukke Subramanya approach.
