Dubare Elephant Camp

Falcon Tours and Travels

The Dubare Elephant Camp is a must-experience for the Elephant lover. Karnataka's history with Elephants, goes a long way back. The Dubare Camp, where Elephants were trained for the famous Mysore Dasara, found a brand new calling. Today, it's a place where hundreds of tourists get one-on-one with their biggest dream.

The Dubare Elephant Camp is a chance to get to know these giant, enchanting creatures better. With a host of activities built around this, many a guest has left the camp with a sense of responsibility to do their bit towards protecting Elephants. A trained naturalist takes our guests through the complexities of elephant history, ecology and biology. Roll up your sleeves and pitch in for an Elephant grooming session - watching elephants being given a scrub-bath in the river, with rituals like oil being applied to their forehead, tusks and the other aspects of elephant grooming will change your idea of pet maintenance.

Season

The camp is located in the Coorg district and enjoys idyllic weather conditions. The Camp is open throughout the year. Monsoons (July to mid-September) are heavy, but the swollen river makes it all the more interesting and the surrounding foliage is alive and vibrant. The post-monsoon months (mid-Sept to beginning March) are the ideal time to visit as the weather is perfect. Summers are pleasant, since the camp is located in sylvan settings.

Travel Tips

  • Dress for comfort. Do avoid bright colours and stick to muted shades of green, black, grey and brown. The more you meld with the background, the better.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes.
  • Avoid smoking – anything can start a forest fire.
  • You’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors. Don’t forget your hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, torch, etc.
  • Avoid plastics. We’re really trying to cut down on plastics.
  • Pets are strictly not allowed
