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.

    Arrangement is very good as promised. In hotel and boathouse service is good. But complimentary food in both resort and boathouse is very simple and normal food. Not even kerala spl food. That is like idly dosa, rice Dhal. If it would be kerala food or any spl food that would be great. Candle light
    dinner complimentary promised was not happened. Overall experience is good Jeep Safari and house boat memories

    Sajeevan's 8 days trip to Athirapally

    Robin from Comfort was good at scheduling our trip and the best part was he was available at any time. Great person. The trip on the whole was great with all resorts chosen to our taste except one at Thekkady. The rooms were too small. We enjoyed the trip thoroughly. The guide cum driver Anil was
    exceptionally good. He knew the places and routes so well. We found new places like Malarikal Lilly lakes which was wonderful experience. Malarikal Lilly lakes and some water falls at Munnar was mesmerising. Athirapally was awesome falls.
