Dubare Forest, Elephant Safari

Dubare is a natural island with cool and pleasant view. Boating and fishing makes a wonderful experience. There are 12 tamed elephants which are maintained by the forest department. Tourists interested to know details about these mammals can be obtained here. This is ideal place for nature lovers for spending a few hours with the nature, elephants, and the cool Cauvery River. Weather and best season to visit: Monsoons are fairly heavy but one can be assured of a unique interesting experience during the rains (July to mid-September) in Dubare. The post-monsoon months (mid- Sept to beginning March) are the best time to visit as the entire district would be enveloped by a cloud of green and the climate would be very pleasant.

The route from Bangalore is via Mysore, Kushalnagar, Gudde Hosur (4km from Kushalnagar on Madikeri Road), then a left turn towards Siddapura. About the 15 kilometer on the Siddapur Main Road visitors would find a JLR Dubare Camp board. A left turn at the board and about kilometer drive would take you to dubare.
