π Sakrebailu Elephant Camp Reopens Soon
The Sakrebailu Elephant Camp near Shivamogga is scheduled to reopen for visitors on September 26. It was closed since May 21 this year due to stricter security measures following an incident at Dubare Elephant Camp. The Forest Department is implementing a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to ensure safety for both tourists and elephants. These new rules mandate that visitors will not have direct contact with the 24 tamed elephants. This popular spot, which sees over 2.5 lakh visitors yearly, now features separate paths for visitors and animals. π
