Eastern gateway — Dubare elephant camp, Nisargadhama and Bylakuppe.
Kushalnagar sits on the Cauvery at Coorg's eastern edge — closest to Mysore and Bengaluru. Dubare Elephant Camp, the bamboo island of Nisargadhama and the Tibetan monastery town of Bylakuppe (Namdroling's Golden Temple) are all minutes away.
