On the Shimoga Thirthahalli road, around 14 km from Shimoga is the Sakrebailu Elephant Camp. The camp houses several captive elephants. Sakrebailu is an eco-tourism center. The elephants in these camps are trained by skilled Mahouts. The camp is located on the banks of the River Tunga. Many wild elephants residing in the forest also visit the camp to enjoy snacks and to play in the backwaters. These wild elephants return to their forests and do not stay in the camp. Sakrebailu is an ideal place to have fun with kids who can enjoy a day with these elephants. Karnataka State Government has taken the initiative to protect these elephants and let them live in the wilderness. The eco-tourism center facilitates tourists as well as local people to visit the camp to witness the tuskers in proximit
