The Dubare Elephant Camp is supposed to be one of the best tourism activities in Coorg, but the unprofessional management will definitely ruin this facility. If you intend to visit this camp, then you have to stand in the queue for at least two hours, which will be the biggest failure. We didn't get a ticket from the queue on the first day and got the ticket only after we took a place in the queue earlier on the second day. After all this struggled and paid a big amount of money for tickets. When we entered there, if you wanted to take a picture with an elephant, you had to pay another cash for staff. Considering the ticket price and the difficulty of getting it, it would be better to return without visiting this place☹️
Our visit to Dubare Elephant Camp with my wife and son in May 2024 was a delightful experience. The camp, nestled in the heart of nature, offered a perfect family getaway. Interacting with the elephants was the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed watching them being bathed in the river and even got to participate in the feeding sessions, which was a thrilling experience, especially for our son. Overall, Dubare Elephant Camp is a must-visit for families. It offers a unique opportunity to get up close with elephants in a natural setting, making it a memorable day for all of us. Highly recommended for nature lovers and families alike!
An Unforgettable Experience with Majestic Elephants Visiting Dubare Elephant Camp was an extraordinary experience that I will cherish forever! Nestled in the scenic beauty of Coorg, this camp offers a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. The camp is well-organized, and the guides provide insightful information about the elephants, their behavior, and conservation efforts. It's evident that the elephants are well cared for, and the bond between the mahouts and the elephants is heartwarming. One of the highlights was the elephant bathing experience. Watching these magnificent creatures enjoy their bath in the river was a joyous sight. We even got the chance to help scrub them, which was both exhilarating and humbling. Feeding the elephants and observing their playful antics was another memorable moment. The setting of the camp is idyllic, with the serene river and lush greenery providing a perfect backdrop. The boat ride to the camp adds to the adventure, offering stunning views of the surroundings. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the crowds and have a more intimate experience with the elephants. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to get a little wet during the bathing session.
