Kodanad Elephant Training Centre - Training centre in Kaprikad - Ernakulam, India

The place has a huge area with very well maintained flora and fauna. The elephants here look healthy and friendly. A good place for a nice stroll,with fruit orchards, bamboo trees etc. A great number of deers as well as sambar deer are there. The butterfly garden is also nice. The place also has 2-3 tree houses which is yet another highlight.The place is very well maintained with a nice park, swings and some really good photo spots. Parking is also lavish.

Located near to perumbavoor and malayatoor in the banks of river periyar Good number of elephants from various parts of kerala with mahouts for training them Morning they have feeding, bathing session which can be viewed from a distance Good number of crowd when we visited

Ample parking space, very neat and beautifully maintained walkways. Filled with so many trees and plants, greenery was so satisfying. Mini zoo with deers and some elephants was good. Necessary food n snacks are available inside. Childrens park, swings, naturely seatings..everything was worth every penny. Fee per person was only Rs.50/- Video camera fee Rs.250 was little high though.

I have visited this place many times during my childhood. We went last week and this place have changed drastically. Now it's all allotted and clean but they don't allow people near the animals. May be due to safety concerns. There's a mini zoo, elephants, lots of tree houses, swings, lake view etc.

Amazing place to visit especially with kids. Not just elephants, there are deer and you might even spot monkeys! It's calm, quiet, and well looked after. You'll find parking, a tea shop, and a small park. Surprisingly uncrowded and impeccably clean. Entry fees applicable.

It's a Variety experience, deer park,mini zoo , butterfly park , elephant training centre, river side walk, children's park,canteen, eco Shop are included here.. must visit children will love it

In addition to the people of Thrissur and Palakkad not being much excited about seeing elephants because it is so easy to see them everyday and could not compare to punathoor kotta but it's may be different purpose ,even though this is a good place where elephants can be seen and most of the elephants are females, but this is one male elephant. Restrooms are very close by, and walking towards this place is very nice, as well as the Mini Zoo, butterfly garden and walkways they have built.

Hmmmm it's a good peaceful place to visit with your family and friends. You can easily spend 1 or 2 hours there but I was expecting more. It was nice to see the elephants, calling them with their names. Watched their activities. Some other animals like deers and sambhar were also there. Lots of plants and greenery. It was like a zoo.
