Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Kudremukh

Horse-face Conspicuous peak in the western Ghats, situated in 13° 8' N. and 75° 16' E., on the borders of the Kadur District of Mysore and the South Kanara District of Madras; 6,215 feet high. Its name is descriptive of its appearance seawards, where it is a well-known mark for navigators. The approach from the Mysore side is by way of Samse, and the hill is sometimes called the Samse- parvat. The officials of South Kanara have a bungalow at the top as a hot-season retreat, and the bridle-path from that side is the easiest means of ascending the mountain.
