Galibore Nature Camp and Riverbank
The camp has a small number of tented cottages spread along the riverbank, each with a hammock outside. Days revolve around the Kaveri: coracle rides, riverside walks, wading in shallow lagoons when the water drops, and a bonfire with a barbecue at night. The rapids here were once famous with anglers, which is why many people still search for the galibore fishing camp, but fishing is no longer allowed. Stays are booked through Jungle Lodges and Resorts.
Galibore Nature Camp and Riverbank
The camp has a small number of tented cottages spread along the riverbank, each with a hammock outside. Days revolve around the Kaveri: coracle rides, riverside walks, wading in shallow lagoons when the water drops, and a bonfire with a barbecue at night. The rapids here were once famous with anglers, which is why many people still search for the galibore fishing camp, but fishing is no longer allowed. Stays are booked through Jungle Lodges and Resorts.
Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary Treks
Guided walks from the camp lead into the cauvery wildlife sanctuary, home to spotted deer, the endangered grizzled giant squirrel, marsh crocodiles, turtles and more than 200 species of birds. River terns, fish eagles, kingfishers and woodpeckers are common after the monsoon. Early morning walks give the best sightings and cooler air.
Galibore Hillock
The windy hillock that gives the camp its name offers a gentle climb and a wide view over the forest and the bends of the Kaveri. Walk up with a naturalist, as the sanctuary does not allow unguided wandering.
Sangama
A short drive back towards Kanakapura, Sangama is the confluence of the Arkavathi and the Kaveri. The broad sandbanks are lively on weekends, and it is also the starting point for the crossing to Mekedatu.
Mekedatu
From Sangama, forest department buses carry visitors to Mekedatu, where the Kaveri races through a gap in the rock so narrow that legend says a goat leapt across it. The swirling water has carved deep round potholes in the granite, which are worth a close look from safe ground.
Chunchi Falls Viewpoint
On the Sangama road, a short detour leads to the Chunchi Falls viewpoint and watchtower above the Arkavathi gorge. Going down to the water is currently restricted, so enjoy the view from the marked points.
Bheemeshwari
Further downstream, Bheemeshwari is the sister Jungle Lodges camp on the Kaveri, known for riverside cottages and coracle trips. Some travellers pair a night at each camp for a longer river holiday.
Muthathi
This riverside village holds a much-loved Anjaneya temple and shady banks for a quiet picnic. The drive runs through sanctuary forest, so keep an eye out for wildlife.

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.
Home of the Art of Living International Centre
The drive leaves the city through Banashankari and Konanakunte, crossing the NICE Road flyover where Kanakapura Road finally frees up. Udayapura is home to the Art of Living International Centre, whose lotus-shaped meditation hall is visible from the approach. Elapsed time: about forty minutes.
Kaggalipura
Villas and farmland give way to open country beyond Kaggalipura. Harohalli, with its large industrial area, is the busiest town on this stretch, and several restaurants along the highway make it a handy breakfast halt before the rural roads begin. Elapsed time: about one hour.
Silk and Granite Town
Granite quarries and mulberry fields line the road into Kanakapura, a town long known for silk and granite. Fill up on fuel, cash and any snacks here, as there are few shops beyond this point. Elapsed time: about one hour thirty minutes.
Doddaalahalli
The Sangama road narrows and winds south past coconut plantations and small villages, entering drier, rockier country. Just past Doddaalahalli, a signboard marks the side road to Chunchi Falls if you want a short detour. Elapsed time: about two hours.
Where the Arkavathi Joins the Kaveri
The road descends into the Kaveri valley and the forest thickens as you enter the sanctuary area. Sangama appears as a broad stretch of sand and water where the two rivers meet. Weekend traffic can slow the last kilometre. Elapsed time: about two hours twenty minutes.
The Windy Hillock on the Kaveri
The final leg follows a forest track that is drivable but unpaved and often missing from map apps. Our drivers follow the Jungle Lodges directions and take it slowly over ruts and stones. The track ends at the camp reception, where staff help with luggage. Elapsed time: about two hours forty-five minutes.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

The galibore distance from bangalore is approximately 100 kilometres via Kanakapura Road, Kanakapura and Sangama. The bus takes two and a half to three and a quarter hours to the Sangama checkpost, plus around 30 to 45 minutes for the forest transfer to the camp.
No. The last 9 to 10 kilometres from the Sangama checkpost is an unpaved forest track suited to 4x4 vehicles. Large buses park at Sangama and the group transfers in jeeps arranged with the camp or locally. Mini buses may manage the track in dry weather, depending on conditions.
Yes. Stays, meals and activities at Galibore are booked directly with Jungle Lodges and Resorts. Once your camp dates are confirmed, we plan the bus and transfers around them.
Galibore was once famous for catch-and-release mahseer angling, but today it operates as a nature camp. Check with the camp for the activities currently offered, such as coracle rides and guided walks.
Pricing starts from around Rs 45 per kilometre for a 29 seater bus and varies by size, AC or non-AC, and Volvo or Benz coaches. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and the rental is calculated garage to garage. The forest transfer is paid separately.
Yes. Sangama is right at the checkpost, and Mekedatu is a short shuttle ride away. Many groups visit both on the way in or on the morning of departure.
October to March is best for pleasant weather and birdwatching. During heavy monsoon rain the forest track can become very difficult, and the camp may adjust access, so check before booking.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare, paid digitally, confirms the booking. The payment and cancellation sections above give the full terms.
No. We do not operate sleeper bus services, and we do not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers who want cover should arrange their own travel insurance.
Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com, with your travel dates, pickup location, group size and preferred bus tier. A written, itemised quote follows within 2 hours. Our bangalore bus booking lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
