The elephant camp is now checked off of my bucket list but I want to go back again. This place is wonderful if you love elephants, nature, beauty, quiet, and the simple life. Our naturalist was wonderful. He could answer every obscure question I threw at him and seemed to enjoy the place as much as I did. I especially... More

I have visited this place with my parents wife and a 3 yr old kid. If you are visiting madikeri (coorg) and you are trying to find a place to go on during your journey frm Bangalore, this place should not be missed. And that too this is not just a zoo wherein you see the elephants from far away...... More

We visited the Dubare Elephant camp in the last week of March 2013. Despite all of the mismanagement and frustration typically associated with Indian tourist spots, we actually had a fun time. We reached the place around 9.30am. The parking lot was crowded but still there was enough space to park. The bathing and feeding activities take place on the... More

We visited the Elephant camp as a destination in the last week of March 2013and didnot stay here. Weather is hot these days. Take ample sun-protection.Not much water in the river-still the sight is refreshing for city dwellers. It takes a five minutes boat-ride to cross the river and reach the elephant camp. We need to reach early (we reached... More

After some initial confusion on how to get to the camp a friendly boarding assistant came and took us with all of our luggage to the camp in... More

We got into water for playing and my daughter's foot got slit as some b******'s had put broken bottles inside water. I heard that lot of... More

This is a popular elephant reserve by the Cauvery river. We did go there to see the elephants and take part in the elephant-bathing process. Which we did and was fun. However what really excited us a lot was the rafting trip we took for 1hr over Cauvery. They charged us Rs.100 for it and our raft-chief, Mr.Darshan really made... More

The Dubare camp offers as an easy escape from the city, straight into the lap of nature. The Dubare forest area though small, holds lots of opportunity to experience wildlife (elephants, chital, gaur, birds and the stray predators). This however is not the main attraction of the camp. People come here mainly for the elephant camp - some even doing... More
