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.

Wildlife 
Mammals that are spotted around the Camp include leopard, elephants, wild pigs, sambar, spotted deers, the highly endangered grizzled giant squirrel, Malabar giant squirrel and jackals.
Reptiles that can be sighted are marsh crocodile, turtles (Leith’s Soft Shelled Turtle, an endemic species is found in these waters), chameleon, python, cobra, russell's viper and banded krait. However, the Mahseer fish is the main attraction of the waters of River Cauvery .
Over 200 species of birds have been identified around the camp. Among the water-based birds, you can spot the grey-headed fishing eagle, spot billed duck, small pied kingfisher, black-bellied river tern, osprey, and many more. There are also a number of rare land-based birds such as the honey buzzard, tawny eagle, pied crested cuckoo, etc

Location: Galibore is located at a distance of 100 km from the tech city, Bangalore, down the Kanakpura - Kollegal Highway.

Facilities
Sit back under a gazebo and tuck into a buffet lunch or dinner. 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.

Activities
Galibore is a very popular angling camp and professional anglers visit the camp during the season.  Anglers bring along their tackles and gear to hook the mighty Mahseer Fish.  As a principle, we strictly adhere to the "Catch and Release" sport fishing policy, which involves releasing back the Mahseer, a threatened species, into the river after taking its photographs weight etc., Once here, your main preoccupation would be coracle rides on the river, hiking the jungle trails, joy fishing or lazing in hammocks under the green canopy of venerable old trees lining and riverbank.  A walk along the riverbank will rejuvenate your tired spirit and body.  Bird watchers will find the riverbank and its surrounding woods an avian paradise.
