Dubare Experience: Average destination with not many activities in case you miss the elephant interaction. Elephant interaction starts off very early and is between 8:30am to 10:30 am. I covered the destination on my way back to Bangalore from Coorg.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: N/A

Activities & things to do: There is elephant bath, feeding and elephant ride. Separate tickets need to be purchased for all these activities. As the elephant camp is now retired not much things to do if you reach after 10:30am. If you're late you can get only the elephant ride. Elephant ride is between 10am to 12pm when I reached there it was 10:30am and there was people were still waiting in queue for the ride as it had not yet started. Not to be missed is the rafting. You can't call this as rafting but for layman this is fine. You're charged 100/- per head for 30min and the rubber boats are in good condition. You are expected to paddle but the guide who steers the raft does the all the hard work. He'll take you to a secluded part of the river and here you can get into the water but only with life jackets. This is an amazing experience. Life jacket really does work. It’s a safe refreshing experience. You get about 15-20 min to play around.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Location is easily accessible. You need to take a motor boat ride to the Dubare Island. This is operated by two private vendors. They charge 20/- per head for round trip. Rafting is charged 100/- per head for 30 min. There are no boards displaying these charges.
