Hi, You can do it from Bangalore to Hassan which is base for both Belur and Halebidu. You can do this with 2 nights stay at Hassan comfortably. Visit Sharavanbelgola on your travel to Mysore and then from Mysore to Bangalore via Shrirangapattnam (visit enroute).Do not miss flower, vegetable, fruits market of Mysore. You get to see beautiful villages, farms on your drive between Hassan - Mysore.best wishes,Malayanil
My son was overjoyed to experience this at the Dubare elephant camp.The elephants come from the camp to the river side and for a nominal payment,one gets to scrub and bathe elephants!!It can be great fun for kids.Just remember to take change of clothes and be prepared to see and smell elephant dung!!!!
This is one of the most beautiful places I have seen.It is less exploited by tourists and hence retains a calm and raw beauty.There are boats with life vests.The charges per person is Rs.100 per person for half an hour.You can go there and book.It is not very crowded.
If you are a postcard crazy person like me this will be a useful tip. Anyone travelling to Nagarhole Wildlife Santuary in Kodagu or Coorg as it is popularly known will be able to get a unique wildlife stamp on the postcard that is only done at Nagarhole.
The Bandipur wildlife sanctuary is a beautiful and interesting place for a holiday.The sanctuary is home to lions,elephants,wild boars,deer,peacocks and many more.The cottages there are simple and food is served if you want.There are safari rides and elephant rides.The mudhumalai sanctuary is adjoining this and can be reached either by car or by public bus.
Coorg is called the Scotland of India.It is indeed beautiful surrounded by lush green and tall trees.this place has much to offer .Places around coorg are--Abbey fallsGolden temple(Buddhist monastry)Bhagandeshwara templeTala cauveryOmkareshwara templeMadikere fortRAJA's seatIruppu fallsCoorg is also famous for coffee,spices(like cardamom,pepper)HoneyThe jewellery here is also famous and unique
Dubare elephant camp is situated in a picturisque location-- on the banks of the running waters of the river Cauvery.One needs to cross the river to reach Dubare.The Jungle lodges and resorts have excellent accomodation in the camp.There are individual cottages,well furnished with attached bath.In the elephant camp you get to bathe,feed and ride elephants.You could also do river rafting,take a coracle ride in the river.The shop at the jungle lodges and dubare camp sells capris,trousers,hats,caps,t-shirts and other shirts and jackets with wildlife prints at very reasonable prices
We visited the Kabini River sanctuary in Nagarhole and had a pleasant stay.The whole trip was interesting.We went on safaris on open jeeps,went for a boat ride and spotted birds early in the morning,had a coracle ride.There was plenty for kids to do as well besides spotting wild life,like climbing trees,rope ladders and tree houses.
The Elephant Camp is very nice to visit, you have to be there early by 8am to see them bathe the elephants . They may let u bathe the elephants , then u can see them feeding the animals after which they put on a lil show . Lastly u can go for a ride on the elephant. You have to pay for all this cant recall how much thoiught. Periyar is inThekkady about 150km away from Nagarhole. http://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/wildlife/wildlife-india.htm link to give u an idea of the location in comparision with nagarholehttp://mapsofindia.com/south-india-travel.htmlhttp://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/kerala/keralaroads.htm you have to take NH 17 & then NH 212 till u reach the karnataka border - Coorg (srimangala kutta is the name of the place)
