Dubare Forest is a natural island of about 11-12 acres. This is a fabulous pick nick place where you can enjoy singing to the karaoke of Mother Nature. Elephants are often found bathing in the river with mahouts helping them with the process. If you have a good smile and a good sense of humor you can get a free ride on the elephant!

This is mainly an elephant capturing and training camp of the Forest Department. Giants of the jungle are captured with the help of the local tribesman, The Kurubas, and few tamed or domestic elephants. Fishing is allowed but with the prior permission from the wild life society. The Forest Department maintains cottages/guest houses at Dubare forest. Activities here includes, bird watching, white river rafting, trekking, boating, fishing, camp fire and many more. Situated on the banks of River Cauvery, this place is an ideal holiday spot.

Take precautions while swimming. Life jackets are available if you intend to boat. Do not get too friendly with the Elephants! Do not litter around. Do not go fishing without permission. There might be an entry-ticket for the island where the Elephants are trained and most of all remember to wear a big smile!
