Dubare Elephant Camp

located in the district of Coorg, next to kushalnagar!! this breathtakingly beautiful resort run by the karnataka govt, is a fabulous get away from the mundane routine of life! it is situated on the banks of the cauvery, and you need to take a brief boat ride to the wild side to reach the resort!! I happened to visit Dubare during Pongal of 2007. Thats the only time of the year when the whole family gets a long off- about 3-4 days continuously. The cottages are clean and very comfortable, basic amenities, no mosquitoes- at least this time of the year, with every cottage having a hammock at the back.. and every cottage has a view of the river flowing by on one side... its peaceful and silent to the point where i could hear my own breathing.. the perfect holiday spot!! the service very good, and the best part being that there is electricity available thru a generator only for 2 hrs in the morn and 2 hrs in the eve... you are jus one with nature the rest of the time.. the best part of the trip being that you have naturalist around who takes you thru treks, explains abt the elephants, the insects, the other animals their lives, their habits, patterns, the birds, the trees, and i can assure you that i have come back a more knowledgeable person, and thats thanks to ashwin! and i would be writing abt all that i learn t!1 facts you cld do with!
