Sakrebyle Elephant Camp
Sakrebyle Elephant Camp is an eco-tourism initiative by the Karnataka Forest Department. It serves as a rehabilitation and training center for elephants brought from various parts of the state. The camp is located on the banks of the Tunga River, providing a natural and serene habitat for these maj estic creatures. Visitors get a rare opportunity to watch elephants being bathed in the river and fed by their Mahouts. The bond between the handlers and the elephants is a highlight for many. It is not a zoo, but a sanctuary where animals are cared for with deep respect and nutrition. :
