Captive Elephant Care & Respect

Gods own country is enriched for its culture, rituals, traditions, and hospitality. Elephants enjoy a predominant position in Keralite culture. We have ancient literature regarding the management and captive keeping of elephants such as Gajarakshtantra, Hastyayaurveda, Maatangashastra, Gajaashikana, Gajagrapanpra, and Manasullasa.

We maintain these majestic animals with respect, aligning with ancient literature connecting cultural activities while exploring the panoramic tea plantations of Munnar. Our park provides a sanctuary where these gentle giants live in harmony with human guides, offering tourists an insight into the historical bonds of elephant keeping in Kerala.

"Initially daunting, but ultimately an awesome experience! Despite a brief wait for the elephant ride, the clarity of the DSLR photos and the elephants' trained poses made it all worthwhile. The only nerve-wracking part was navigating the small mud road, but the well-trained elephants ensured a safe journey."
