 The Galibore Fishing and Nature Camp is tucked away literally
far from the maddening crowd, deep in the deciduous forests
about ten km from Sangam, on the banks of the River Cauvery.
There is no habitation of any kind for miles around and the only
sounds are the birdcalls and the whistling of the wind. Indeed
the place gets its name from a windy hillock called Galibore,
situated just behind the camp.
The Camp is in the middle of wilderness overlooking the River
Cauvery, surrounded by hills. The Camp itself is covered with trees lining both sides of the river. This is indeed a rough country. This is ideal for those who want total privacy and no crowd.
ACCOMMODATION
 This Camp has 12 luxurious tented cottages with attached bath.
However, there is no electricity here. We provide only
hurricane/ solar lamps, which add to the rustic nature of the place.
Located sufficiently away from any habitation, Galibore offers
complete peace and tranquility.
FACILITIES
 Sit back under a gazebo and tuck into a buffet lunch or dinner,
among other hungry souls like you. While breakfast is generally a
quiet affair, as you savour the view and the natural ambience along
with the food, the evening barbecue by the riverside is more
spirited and lively. As twilight dissolves into the night, a bonfire is
lit and while you recline on a lawn chair or swing leisurely in a hammock, preparations are afoot for the barbecue - of grilled chicken, fish or vegetables.
Hammocks are fixed outside each tent and hut for those who would like to laze or read a book in the open. A safe tumbling net is provided for guests to have a rollicking time.
THE CUISINE
A delicious spread of South and North Indian dishes, buffet style is
served at the Ghol ghar. A choice of both Vegetarian and
Non-Vegetarian is available.
ACTIVITIES
 Galibore Fishing and Nature Camp is a perfect base for anglers in
pursuit of the Mighty one. The fishing season here is during the
months of February, March, April and till mid-May. Guests are
provided with a local guide or ‘gillie’ for every two visitors. Gillies
help anglers with their knowledge of the waters and are experienced
fishermen themselves. They also are adept at using the coracle boats
(native, circular boats made out of buffalo hide) and can move guests
from place to place in the waters. Also guided trekking, Coracle Ride & Nature Walk into the forest.
LOCATION
Exactly hundred kilometers from Bangalore, a signpost at Kanakapura guides you to turn left into a village road that’ll take you to Sangam, the confluence of the two rivers Arkavathi and Cauvery. From here, following another signpost, it’s a short drive of about ten kilometers on a gravelly track, through some desolate, wooded terrain, to the Camp. Though it is an unmetalled road, we have ensured that cars can reach Galibore. By the way, this place is 6km down stream of Muttatti village. |
