Where Wildlife Meets Adventure in Coorg's Heart
Dubare Elephant Camp is one of Coorg's most popular wildlife destinations, located on the banks of the Cauvery River. This forest camp serves as a training ground for captured wild elephants and offers visitors a unique opportunity to interact with these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
Established by the Karnataka Forest Department, Dubare provides an educational and conservation-focused experience where visitors can learn about elephant behavior, participate in feeding activities, and enjoy various adventure sports like river rafting and coracle rides.
The camp plays a crucial role in elephant conservation and rehabilitation. Visitors can observe the daily routines of elephants, including bathing, feeding, and training sessions. The camp also houses several rescued elephants that are being prepared for release back into the wild.
Beyond elephant interactions, Dubare offers a range of adventure activities including white water rafting on the Cauvery River, coracle rides, nature walks, and bird watching. The surrounding forest is home to various wildlife species including deer, wild boar, and numerous bird species.
