Dubare Elephant Camp
Managed by the Karnataka Forest Department with Jungle Lodges and Resorts, the camp is home to elephants cared for by experienced mahouts. Visitors cross the Kaveri to reach the camp and can watch the elephants being bathed in the river, fed and prepared for the day, while naturalists explain their behaviour and history. Some of the region's camp elephants have taken part in the Mysuru Dasara procession. Activity timings, crossing arrangements and what visitors can do change with the season and forest department rules, so check the latest details before you go and aim to arrive early.

Kaveri River Activities
The Kaveri near Dubare is known for coracle rides and, in the right season and when permitted, river rafting over gentle rapids. The forested banks and rocky channels make it a scenic spot even if you simply walk along the river. Always follow the instructions of licensed operators and never enter the water on your own, as currents can be strong.
Kaveri Nisargadhama
About 15 kilometres from Dubare near Kushalnagar, Nisargadhama is a riverine island reached by a hanging bridge. Bamboo groves, teak trees, a deer park, tree houses and river views make it a lovely place for a relaxed walk with children. It is often combined with Dubare on the same day.
Namdroling Monastery and Golden Temple, Bylakuppe
Bylakuppe is one of the largest Tibetan settlements in India, and Namdroling Monastery is its centrepiece. The Golden Temple houses three large gilded statues of the Buddha, Padmasambhava and Amitayus, surrounded by colourful murals. The peaceful monastery grounds, prayer wheels and monks at study make it a memorable stop, and nearby cafes serve momos and thukpa.
Harangi Dam
About 10 kilometres from Kushalnagar, the Harangi reservoir on a tributary of the Kaveri is surrounded by forest and gardens, and it is especially attractive after the monsoon. The area around Harangi also has an elephant camp, making it a good addition for wildlife lovers.
Chiklihole Reservoir
Close to the Dubare forest, Chiklihole is a small, quiet reservoir with a curved dam wall and forest all around. It sees far fewer visitors than the main sights and is ideal for a peaceful break and photographs, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon.
Madikeri Fort
About 35 kilometres from Kushalnagar, Madikeri Fort stands at the heart of Coorg's main town. First built in the 17th century by the Kodagu ruler Mudduraja, it was rebuilt in stone under Tipu Sultan and later renovated by the Kodagu kings. The fort holds the old palace, two life-size stone elephant statues and a museum in the former church inside its walls, with exhibits on Kodagu's history and culture.
Raja's Seat and Abbey Falls
In Madikeri, Raja's Seat is a garden viewpoint where the Kodagu kings are said to have enjoyed the sunset over rolling hills and valleys. A short drive away, Abbey Falls drops through coffee and spice estates and is at its most powerful in and after the monsoon. Both are easy additions on a Madikeri day.
Mandalpatti Viewpoint
For a little adventure, Mandalpatti near Madikeri offers grassy hilltop views above the clouds. The last stretch is steep and rough, and local jeeps are typically used to reach the top. Sunrise and early morning are the best times to go.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Silk City of Karnataka
The drive leaves Bangalore via Mysore Road and Kengeri and joins the access-controlled Bangalore–Mysuru Expressway, which bypasses the towns along the old highway. Ramanagara is the "Silk City of Karnataka", home to one of Asia's largest silk cocoon markets, and its rocky hills are famous as the filming location of the classic film Sholay. The Ramadevara Betta vulture sanctuary lies among these granite outcrops. The early start helps you clear the Kengeri stretch quickly.
Sugar City of Karnataka
Mandya is the "Sugar City of Karnataka", surrounded by sugarcane fields irrigated by the Kaveri and its canals, with sugar factories and jaggery units across the district. The green landscape is a clear sign that you have reached the Kaveri basin. The expressway skirts the town, keeping the drive smooth and fast.
Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan
Srirangapatna is the "Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan", a river island formed by the Kaveri that served as the capital of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Tipu's summer palace Daria Daulat Bagh, the Gumbaz and the fort ramparts are all close to the highway. Heritage lovers often stop here on the return drive.
City of Palaces
Mysuru is the "City of Palaces", home of the grand Mysore Palace and the famous Dasara festival, when decorated elephants lead the procession. Your driver uses the ring road to bypass the city centre and join the Hunsur road towards Kodagu. Mysuru is a good place to stop for coffee, and many travellers plan an evening at the palace on the way back.
Little Tibet of South India
Bylakuppe is "Little Tibet of South India", one of the largest Tibetan settlements outside Tibet, with monasteries, prayer flags and Tibetan cafes lining the roads. Namdroling Monastery and its Golden Temple are just off the highway, so most travellers stop here either on the way in or the way out. The settlement's calm atmosphere is a striking contrast to the busy highway.
Gateway to Kodagu
Kushalnagar is the "Gateway to Kodagu", the first large town you reach in Coorg, sitting on the banks of the Kaveri. Kaveri Nisargadhama and Harangi Dam are nearby, and the town has a good range of hotels and restaurants, which makes it a convenient base for Dubare. The road to Madikeri continues west from here into the hills.
Home of the Gentle Giants of the Kaveri
A short drive through coffee estates and forest brings you to Dubare, the "Home of the Gentle Giants of the Kaveri". Your driver parks near the riverbank, from where visitors cross to the camp. After the morning session, the cab can take you to Nisargadhama, Chiklihole or Bylakuppe, or up to Madikeri for Raja's Seat and the fort in the evening.
Designed for Bangalore IT and manufacturing teams planning a Coorg offsite, team outing or annual trip. It includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, multiple pickup points across tech parks and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate minibus bangalore and driver stay with the team for the full trip, including resort transfers and sightseeing. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end.
Ideal for extended families, apartment associations and friend groups planning a two day Coorg getaway. The itinerary is built around Dubare in the morning, the Golden Temple and Nisargadhama in the afternoon, and Madikeri sightseeing on day two. Luggage space comfortably fits overnight bags, and our driver can drop and collect the group at homestays and resorts across Kushalnagar and Madikeri.
Dubare is one of the best wildlife education trips from Bangalore, combining elephant conservation, forest ecology and the Kaveri river system in one day. Our school excursion bus rental bangalore package provides verified drivers, a first aid kit, strict headcounts at every stop and schedules that avoid late-night driving.

For groups where cost per head matters most. Non-AC 12 to 17 seater mini buses, point to point, with a clean vehicle and verified driver.

The dubare elephant camp distance from bangalore is approximately 237 kilometres via the Bangalore–Mysore Expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur, Periyapatna and Kushalnagar. The drive takes 5 hours to 5 hours 30 minutes one way, including a breakfast halt. Leaving by 5:00 AM gets the group to the camp in time for the morning elephant activities.
The camp is busiest in the morning, when the elephants are taken to the river to be bathed and then fed, usually from around 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM. Timings, entry fees and the activities visitors may join are set by the Karnataka Forest Department and can change with the season or water level, so we recommend confirming them shortly before your trip. Our team can help you plan departure time around the latest schedule.
It is possible, but it means around 475 kilometres and 10 to 11 hours of driving in a single day, which leaves little time at the camp and brings the group back late at night, when driver bata after 9:45 PM applies. We recommend a two day plan with an overnight halt at Kushalnagar or Madikeri, which also allows time for the Golden Temple, Nisargadhama and Madikeri sightseeing.
Pricing starts from around Rs 30 per kilometre for a 12 seater AC mini bus and varies with seating capacity, AC or non-AC configuration and the number of days. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. Every charge appears in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
No. The entire route from Bangalore to Dubare, Kushalnagar and Madikeri lies within Karnataka, so no interstate tax or permit applies. If you extend the trip to Wayanad or Ooty, the relevant Kerala or Tamil Nadu permit will be added to the quote at actuals.
October to March offers pleasant weather, a calm river that is easy to cross and the best conditions for watching the elephants. June to September brings lush monsoon scenery and river rafting, but high water can limit the crossing and some activities. Summer months from April to May are warm but less crowded.
Our minibus hire bangalore fleet covers 12, 14, 17, 20 and 24 seater configurations in AC and non-AC. For fewer than twelve passengers, an 8 to 18 seater tempo traveller is usually more economical. For larger groups we operate 27 to 50 seater buses, including Volvo and Benz, or can split the group across two mini buses for easier access to Dubare and Abbey Falls.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific mini bus on your travel date. The advance must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, and a receipt is issued within 30 minutes. The balance is settled at trip end.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge, and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Between 48 and 72 hours the charge is 10 percent of the total fare, between 24 and 48 hours 25 percent, and between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent. Two day Coorg and Dubare trips need a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover; passengers should arrange their own travel insurance if needed. All vehicles carry valid insurance and full statutory compliance, and every driver is verified. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel date, pickup location, group size and day-wise itinerary. A written quote follows within 2 hours.
