Al-Hind - Hotel in Chillithodu - Idukki, India

Elephant riding was terrible. They charged 1000 rupees per Elephant ride and it was only a five minute ride. The elephants came were we started and the employees weren't nice at all. Definitely not worth it.

Very short (hardly 50/60 feet) elephant ride. Another 20 feet if shower is taken. Considering this charges of Rs1500/- is a bit high. One has to see whether proper photographer is present otherwise there will be no memory.

The employees were very mean. This experience couldn't get worse. They hit the elephant and only made us ride 20 feet. They charged 1000 rupees for this horrifying event! Please save your money and do not go here!!

This experience was horrible. I have been to various places for the elephant ride and this was the worst. These guys are scammers. I would not recommend this elephant ride and would advise to save your money.

I have not stayed at their homestay, but have availed their elephant ride service. Truth be told, as much as we enjoyed the experience of riding on the back of an elephant, the charges seem to be pretty steep for the service they provide. It would cost you Rs1000 per head for a 15 minutes ride, and Rs1500 per person for a 20 minutes ride and bath. For the basic ride, the elephant would take you on a fixed trail up-hill and back down. The ride would seem like a 5-mins one because the elephant would obviously keep stopping and playing. For the additional bath, they provide you a place to change your clothes, take you to the stream nearby, and make the elephant spray you with a trunkful of water. And that's it! If you wish to experience it once, may be spend the money like we did. The location is beautiful and the view is worth.

Worst behaviour from the owner and he is a drunkand,and I recommend not to book in online for this stay.plz don't pay money before you see the rooms. And google should provide 0 rating option for this kind of service.

Never enter the place ! 1 elephant waiting time not less than 2 hours. ! And charges to heavy and time of rude just 4 min ! Never ever plan for elephant ride waste of money & time !

Nice place but there is only one elephant...it is too time taking to visit the place by elephant safari...and also mentioned that the food provided to that innocent animal is too small amount than they are taking money for each person...they say that elephant safari is for 1 hour.. but they take us only downhill to uphill and uphill to downhill which takes only 4 minutes.
