The trek is usually closed from March to September every year due to the risk of forest fires and heavy monsoon rains.

The Kumara Parvatha trek opening date generally falls around September or early October, once the forest department declares the trail safe for public entry.

At The United Trips, we coordinate directly with the local forest office to confirm the official opening date before scheduling any group departures — so you don’t have to worry about last-minute cancellations.

Here’s why:

• October–November: Post-monsoon freshness, waterfalls in full flow, and green forest paths.
