Sakrebailu Elephant Camp, Shimoga, Karnataka India

Many elephant camps in the state are now run by private entities where a session to interact with the tuskers would cost nothing less than Rs400 per person. While common tourists are not allowed to visit the Dubare elephant camp in Kodagu district, Nagarhole National Park in the same district has been closed for tourists after a forest fire destroyed parts of the park.

Common tourists are not allowed to visit many ecotourism centres in the state, but the Sakrebailu elephant camp in Shimoga district continues to attract commoners.
