| Kumaraparvatha :) |
It was an amazing experience.........
Firstly we were 14 people in the group.....in that except 4 everyone are first time trekkers.When we planned to go for a trek to kumaraparvatha i started reading several blogs in almost all the blogs they have said that it will be difficult for the first time trekkers and i dint loose hope from that still we had a confident of doing it.

| With Bhatt |
It will take 2 days to complete the trek.There are 2 directions:
1.Kukke subramanya to Bidalli APC.
2.Bidalli APC to Kukke Subramanya.
 |
| Starting from bidhalli |
We started from the second route from Bidalli to Kukke Subramanya.We started at 10:30am in the morning.Transportation was not at all a problem for us because we made a stay at Hassan on the day before the trek,next morning we made a TT and reached easily by 10am,we had our break fast and started the Trek.

| Rock Climbing |
We saw a deer at the first step,then approximately we need to go around 1 Km to reach the forest office,there we have to do the formalities, should pay 200rs as a trekking fee for each person.There are leaches too :) be careful.
We planned to carry plenty of water but in the hurry burry we did not carry so much of water but we had carried some.At the half of our journey not a single drop of water was left.Everyone were dying for water,no one has water still we have more than 3 Km to reach the peak were we planned to stay for that night.
To stay should carry a tent we were 14 and carried 2 tents though it was not sufficient,6 girls in one tent 4 boys in the other and other 4 guys slept outside in that deadly cold.It was horrible but still we were happy that we are doing some achivement lol :) Finally without water we reached the peak only with Lipton Ice tea :)After reaching the peak our boys went almost 2 Km away to bring water they brought almost 15ltrs of water....... Can take food parcel before starting itself but we had enough energy bars,biscuits,energy drinks,bun etc it was our food whole day.At night we stayed at peak and our food was Maggi prepared by all of us :) The best recipe was we mixed Kurkure with Haldirams Bhel and Bun with Tamarind water new try it was great...... ;)

| Preparing Maggi |
Next morning pack-up;) i mean we packed up our tent we stored enough water for today's journey and also had a hope that can have lots of food and water at Bhattara Mane,we were expecting that we can easily reach Bhattara mane Bcoz getting down will be easy to be frank it was the toughest part there we divided into 2 groups 3 in one group Bcoz one of our friend got leg injured,rest of them should continue and wait for them at Bhattara mane.

Finally we reached Bhattara mane ,we did not have patience even to wait for that 3,we started to eat they reached by 1 hour. While getting down we have another forest office check point they told that they have got a news of elephants attack on the way so they gave a caution for us so we made a line and told not go out of that then started to move on.
 |
| Sunset |
We even did not talk loudly Bcoz of Elephants attack the intention of was to reach before it gets dark finally we reached the end point of the trek by around 6:30PM. We all were like wow we did it we were shouting everyone has a peaceful relaxing smile on faces for there it was 1.5 km for Subramanya temple we walked till the temple,freshen up went for swamys Darshana had prasada and came back to Bangalore finally dream of 1 month came true :) :) :)
