Plan The Unplanned presents Kumar Parvatha !!

Kumara Parvatha, also popularly known as Pushpagiri (5624 feet above sea level), is the second highest mountain belonging to the Western Ghats mountain ranges situated in the Kodagu district of Karnataka, after Tadiandamol. If compared to the other treks in this region, Kumara Parvatha is a little tougher, but nonetheless, beautiful. The trekking trail runs through the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, and you'll be getting up close and personal with nature during this journey.

While a weekend getaway to Coorg might sound something too cliched, you'll be surprised to know that the region has some amazing trek trails, providing numerous opportunities to travel enthusiasts for exploring the entire region surrounded by the Western Ghats. Plan The Unplanned has already taken you up there till Tadiyandamol, Kopatty, Nishani Motte and other places, but now it's time to head towards another new destination, Kumara Parvatha.

You'll be exposed to the majestic mountains, the valleys painted with the most amazing shades of green, little brooks and some surprises that nature has to offer en route.

I came across Plan The Unplanned on Instagram and it really was a good idea to follow them. And I was like let's give a shot at trekking for which I chose the Madhugiri Fort trek on 10th Feb'19. The trek was way above my expectations. Be it the way everything was organized, the trek leaders or the fellow trekmates. Everything was on point.The trek leaders ensured that everyone was comfortable going up/down the hill which actually was a very challenging one. Thanks Yashwanth, Ajay and Rakshitha for making the trek a memorable one. Will book my next trip soon.Bangalore people should definitely try going on a trip with Plan The Unplanned without having any second thoughts. - by Satarupa for Kunti Betta Trek organized by Plan The Unplanned .

This was my 2nd time with PTU after KP trek. Very happy to say that the experience keeps on getting better ! Don't know what these folks eat before organizing the trips/treks :) Our leads were Akanksha, Pujitha and Abhishek and each one of them was special in a way. The biker and wanderlust girl, Akanksha, the kidnapper Pujitha and the smooth talker Abhishek. They always ensured that the josh was high and no one was left out. And the fellow travelers are no more just an acquaintance. Definitely will remember them for a long time! And last but not the least was the surprise activity on Day 2 morning. A very different and healing experience. If you want to know what it was then don't wait, just book with them! I am definitely going with them 3rd, 4th ... nth time :) - by Vishal Sinha for Explore Hampi Heritage Trek, Bouldering and Camping organized by Plan The Unplanned .

It's was a good experience. We were able to be on time. The view is worth the climb. Good option for weekend getaways. - by Sangavi Ashokkumar for Night Trek To Skandagiri organized by Plan The Unplanned .

A tough trek. But worth it. Never have I been let down as much as I was, when with every last ounce of energy in body, I dragged myself from kallu mantapam to the peak,when one guy chilling on a rock there calmly pointed out to the actual peak 2kms from there. If it were not for the trek leads Abhishek and ruchi, this trek would just have been pictures at the peak, sore legs and swollen ankles. But, the energy they brought to the group made me enjoy this trek more than I had ever expected. Will definitely come back for round two - by Siddartha Samanth Chinne for Kumara Parvatha Trek | Plan The Unplanned organized by Plan The Unplanned .

We went for this trek on 19th-21st Oct 2018. We were amazed to see the rich biodiversity at Kotagiri. It's a very good place for birding enthusiasts. There is a lot of wildlife in these Nilgiri Hills. Weather was excellent and we did not face much rains during the trek. We did not take the overnite bus ride provided by the organisers. We went on our own one day earlier and stayed at a homestay and joined the group at the camp on Saturday morning and stayed there for the night at camp and left on Sunday morning. +ves - The group was very energetic and fun. The trek leads were keen to make us explore as much as we can in the limited time we had. They were also very enthusiastic about making the whole trip fun for people by trying to organise fun activities in the evening.-ves - My overall review is negative so obviously there are more -ves than +ves. Will make it objective for future trekkers to keep these in mind as they chose this place for a trekking/camping experience1. The camps are set up in a tea estate down the valley. There is one big campsite started by a tea estate owner and then there are a couple small ones which mushroomed around it. We were in one of the smaller campsite. This was the first major concern. the site was barely enough to pitch 3-4 tents and have max 10-12 people. There are 2 restrooms (which were filthy by the way). The organisers booked 27 people for this trek (+3 trek leads) and there was another group of 10 at the same campsite. So in all we were 40-45 people at a such a small place and there were 12-14 tents pitched next to each other. There was hardly any place to even walk or sit outside comfortably. This was a major dampener in our camping experience.2. Food - the food and camping is provided by the people who own the camping site. Plan the unplanned is just taking bookings and taking people to this campsite and making a margin out of this. The food was very average. I have been to multiple treks and lot of them at very high altitudes. The food is far far better than what was offered here. 3. Lack of experience of trek leaders - The trek leaders had very little or no experience in managing a trekking group. They were not able to assess risks, they had no first aid kits, they had no mode of communication to check the progress, whereabouts and safety of such a large group, and they were not able to guide the group to move at a pace which was required to cover the treks in time. After reaching sites, people were just left on their own to spend as much time as they want. This led to the group missing going to dolphin peak as it got dark. 4. Respect for nature/jungles - Lot of trekkers were first timers and they did not have much awareness on conduct in forests and treks. Some basic rules are avoiding being too loud, making lot of noise, playing loud music etc. What was surprising was trek leads also lacking these basic principles. The whole campsite was very loud specially in the evening and the dance, music and party continued till 11 PM disturbing the wildlife/birds in that area. This was led and initiated by trek leads themselves. Moreover, during the trek, trek leads were playing music on their mobiles which set the example for other youngsters also and they thought thats an ok thing to do. This was really really disappointing. Having fun is important but at the same time, in these zones, we have to respect the forests and the wildlife there and be sensitive. Fellow trekkers - chose this trek if you are a nature lover, contact local campsites on your own and do it the proper way. Do not expect the organisers to add any more value than arranging a shared transportation for you (and making a huge margin on that).I dont have any trust in capabilities of these organisers especially because they don't seem to be nature lovers and have poor planning and execution skills. - by Yogendra for Kotagiri Trek - Camp Amidst The Nilgiri Hills organized by Plan The Unplanned .

It was amazing experience ,even though it was hard to climb but worth the climb because of the final view . The fog ,the wind ,clouds it feels as if we are traveling on the cloud to heaven ,in fact it's heaven on the earth. The treak leads were very friendly , approachable and entertained us with various activities throughout the journey , over all our weekend well spent with PTU.But one suggestion is next time while climbing up and coming down pleas take care treakers ,try to be with them as much as possible other than this really we had great weekend.tThanks team. - by Suprita for Night Trek To Skandagiri organized by Plan The Unplanned .

#PlanTheUnplanned -- Friendly coordinators, vehicle was good, drive was average, stay was excellent, food was average. Awesome views all through the trek (22kms). Add Kudremukh in must trek list. Elniru waterfalls near kudremukh base is worth visiting (4kms) ~ 22 Sept 2018 - by Santhosh for Kudremukh Monsoon Trek | Plan The Unplanned organized by Plan The Unplanned .

I was there last time.Place is amazing,but we missed some treks and views due to irresponsibility and lack of planning. They depend on an outsourced guide who smoke weed and forget his responsibility. Don't expect any luxury as they always look for cheapest options for travel and accommodation. An irritating coordinator for Bangalore as well made the trip awful - by Vivek for Meghalaya on Foot | Plan The Unplanned organized by Plan The Unplanned .

So, HAMPI was always on my list of Must Do Travels. I am so glad that I chose to explore this dream place with Plan The Unplanned. Hampi is itself a best place but as a solo Traveler, being with them made my experience memorable. We did #bouldering, #MopedRiding kishkindha(or Hampi) k galiyon mein #GermanCafeLunches #Swimming #Trekking #Coracleride #BoatRide #MusicalNights #SleepingUnderSky #ArcheologicalPlaces #DanceInBus and yes making new friends. As Hampi has 2 parts - one the Archeological and other the Hippie(Mountainous) Hampi, the best thing was we were able to cover major things in just 1.5 days and I guess all because things were so organized. All credit goes to Jatin (our Organizer and jovial personality). - by Deepa Dodwani for Explore Hampi Heritage Trek, Bouldering and Camping organized by Plan The Unplanned .

So, this is my experience with the Plan The Unplanned-Gokarna Beach Trek..
