It’s all about the elephants, though
Your stay at Jungle Lodges’ Dubare Elephant Camp offers a unique opportunity to engage with the resident pachyderms of the forest department’s elephant camp. You can feed elephants, bathe them and observe them up close. While the elephants you interact with are captive, this supervised experience with your guides will give you a deeper understanding of elephant behaviour and their place in Karanataka’s culture. Even when you leave Dubare, the majestic presence of these elephants and their relationship with their handlers will serve as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of nature and our relationship with it.
