About Kodanad Elephant Training Centre in Athirapally

Kodanad, a beautiful town located in Ernakulam district of Kerala, along the river banks of Periyar is famous for its elephant training centre. It is located at a distance of 45 kms from the city of Kochi. Kodanad Elephant Training Centre is one of those places in Kerala where new-born elephants are captured and domesticated later for a few purposes. However, capturing elephants in banned now and this place has recently become a training hub for elephants. In the earlier times, elephants were captured in the Malayattoor forests and then taking for training at the centre in Kodanad.

Kodanad offers a picturesque view of the nearby landscape. There are a number of walkways that offer a pleasant experience to the tourists who come here on a walking tour. Spot deer in the nearby wildlife park and elephants in Kodanad during your visit to Kerala.

History of Kodanad Elephant Training Centre

Kodanad was known as one of the largest elephant training centres in the year between 1950 and 1960. Newly captured elephants from neighbouring areas were trained here ever since. It was in the year 1970 that government of India banned the capturing of elephants. After this ruling decision by the Government, Kodanad has been known as a rescue training centre of elephants.

Kodanad Elephant Training Centre is now relocated to Abhayaranyam near Kaprikkad. It is a famous tourist destination for many visitors who come here during a vacation. The Centre is bordered by high mountain ranges which make it a picturesque destination for many visitors. As the Kodanad is built along the southern banks of River Periyar, you can enjoy sightseeing at the places nearby. There are two more elephant training centres in Kerala - Muthanga of Wayanad and Konni in Pathanamthitta. At the PunnathurKotta in the district of Thrissur, more than 40 elephants are specially trained to be kept at the Guruvayur Temple. Kodanad Elephant sanctuary is a must-visit for all the elephant lovers out there.

    Bala's 4 days trip to Athirapally

    Hi Team, As you this wasn't my 1st trip with you guys. Though booking was hassle free was surprised to after service, moreover your App was so pathetic which I had complained also, inspite of install & uninstall multiple times , I had login and due payment issues. No transparency on cost due to w
    hich I eventually paid on higher payment instead of what it was promised to be, refund for the same pending. Had mixed opinion on overall journey 1) Driver Nice and very friendly guy and always promot on his duty, full 5star for him. 2) Hotel - Lake View munnar * Property was good with view point and staffs etc. But drawbacks were , It's 3 Star hotel rather 4 star. I had face Hot water issue for all days, Team used to attend complaint but didn't get resolved . Food for one night was so bad and it lacks with other amenities to be called a 4Star. 3) Boat house It was fantastic, nice crew team, Good food & Hospitality. It didn't had hot water facilities As I was carrying my infant , but overall it was a happy stay. 4) Support from Travel agent / Travel triangle representative Totally below par to my expectations, As eveytime I need to do too many follow ups, Still I didn't get my refund amount on excess money paid. House boat stay and Villa Property of hotel.

    Jehangir's 7 days trip to Athirapally

    Our travel agent was good but I had a heart breaking experience as the vehicle at the airport pickup was not what was asked for so I had to arrange one myself with additional waste of time in acquiring it and paying extra for the same. After reaching the hotel I had to let the vehicle go and was wit
    hout one till late next morning. Fortunately the agent arranged for the appropriate vehicle and I could save the trip. I have not be reimbursed for the extra expenses even after sharing all payment details. So in a way yes I was extremely dejected till all became well. I still am as I have not been reimbursed The place and sightseeing was wonderful
