Answer: 13 years
The deal was that the Pandavas spent 12 years in the forest in exile and then spent another year in hiding. This meant that they had to disguise themselves and work for a king. Also, if anybody found out that they were the Pandavas, they would have to restart the exile from the beginning.

Karna was Kunti's eldest born through Surya, the sun god. Without realising the consequences, Kunti playfully tried Sage Duruvasa's mantra when she was still unmarried. Karna was thus born. She had placed him in a wooden box and set it afloat on a river. A charioteer, Adhiratha, found the baby and called it by the pet name Radheya, meaning "son of Radha". (Radha was Karna's foster mother.)

Answer: They died in a forest fire.
After the end of the battle, the Pandavas ruled Hastinapur for some time with Dhritarashtra as their head. Later, Dhritarashtra, along with his wife Gandhari and his sister-in-law Kunti (mother of the Pandavas) left the kingdom to go live in a hermitage in the mighty Himalayas. It was there that they died in a forest fire, and thus came to a tragic end.
The Mahabharata is divided into 18 books (parvas) concerning an 18-day war among 18 armies. The fifteenth parva, called the Ashramavasika Parva or The Book of the Hermitage, contains an elaborate description of the state of the affairs of Dhritarashtra, Gandhari and Kunti after the end of the great battle at Kurukshetra.
