Tourist entry to the well known Dubare Elephant Camp in Kushalnagar taluk, a popular destination for visitors to Kodagu district, will be restricted on May 6.
The Forest Department has issued this order in view of internal management requirements and various maintenance works being carried out at the camp.
According to an official press release issued by the Kushalnagar Zone Forest Officers, tourist entry has been restricted on 6 May 2026 due to maintenance work at Dubare Sakane Camp.
The order will be applicable for one day only. The department has requested tourists who were planning to visit Dubare on May 6 to revise their travel schedule accordingly.
Regular activities such as elephant care, camp cleanliness, and technical maintenance are carried out at the Dubare camp.
Temporary restrictions are often imposed to ensure the safety of tourists and the smooth functioning of the camp.
The Forest Department has clarified that no visitors will be allowed inside on Tuesday, May 6, due to special work scheduled for the day.
Kodagu district is a major tourist destination, attracting thousands of visitors during the summer season. Dubare Elephant Camp, located on the banks of the Cauvery River, is especially popular among tourists who are keen to watch elephants being bathed and fed.
However, visitors planning to travel to the camp on May 6 may be turned away due to the temporary restriction. Tourists are therefore advised to keep this information in mind and plan their visit accordingly.
