Agumbe - A Paradisaical Beauty

Narasimha Parvatha & Barkhana Falls Trailwalk

Narasimha Parvatha and Barkhana Falls, a part of the Mookambika wildlife range located in the Agumbe region, provide a picturesque view of the vast jungles of  Western Ghats. Narasimha Parvath, the tallest peak of Agumbe is around 7 hours distance from Bangalore. The trail to the peak takes us through the varied landscapes ranging from an easy muddy trail to an inclined moderate grassland stretch towards the peak. Many streams and brooks flow around the trail during the monsoon/post-monsoon season.  

 

The below video clip was taken from our previous visit to the Barkhana falls located around 7km from the starting point of the trail. The Sita river of Agumbe narrows down, plunging into the gorges to become the Barkhana Falls.
