Kallu Mantapa

After crossing Kallu mantapa,u have to pass Bhattada rashi peak.
Bhattada rashi means "Heap of Wheat".
The peak looks like heap of wheat so the name Bhattada rashi.

After crossing bhattada rashi peak,one can view Shesha parvatha.
which is the second highest peak in pushpagiri sactuary.

After shesha parvatha one has to pass through thick forest to reach KP peak.
Its another 1km trek in the dense forest.U can witness the presence of Elephants in the thick forest.
Luckyl we did not encounter any of them.
At last after a whole day trek we reached our destination(KP) at 6 6:15pm.
