Kudremukh, National park in Chikkamagaluru district, India

Kudremukh National Park extends across 600 square kilometers of hills, grasslands, and forests at altitudes reaching 1,894 meters above sea level.

The British administration designated this area as a natural reserve in 1916 to protect tigers before it later transformed into an iron ore mining region.

Three major rivers of Karnataka - Tunga, Bhadra, and Nethravati - begin their journey from the Gangamoola hill within the park boundaries.

Visitors need to obtain permits for trekking activities, and the park remains open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with entry fees varying for domestic and international tourists.

The park contains rare plant species including the Nilambur Cobra Lily and South Indian Jewel Orchid amid its dense evergreen forest sections.
