Kalpavanam Elephant Park, Thekkady - Elephant Safari and Bath

We were confused about going in but the decision was worthy. Beautiful view and landscape of jungles over an elephant walk was breathtaking. We enjoyed feeding elephants and taking some memories in pictures. You can buy tickets for ride and elephant bath as per your interest

We had an excellent experience. The elephants were chained and I was very hesitant in participating in the elephant ride but I didn't see any tears in the eyes of the elephant the kids rode so I am hoping it indicates they treat their elephants well.

Feeding elephant is an extra Rs 100.

I had an amazing experience! It's a fantastic place for a tour, with so much to see and do. However, it can get quite crowded, leading to longer wait times. Despite that, it's well worth the visit!

Excellent place. Elephant ride distance is short but you can take a feel on the back of the elephant. Elephant Bath is a good option. Slightly expensive I think

It cost 1250 RS for both the elephant ride and the bath. The ride was enjoying but not more than 15 mins. The elephant bath is at other place inside the camp. There you can change your clothes before and after elephant bath.

Lovely experience where they have 2 packages -one is ride n shower and second is only ride.

We visited this park during a half day trip to visit some places in Thekkady.

The place was quite well maintained. My parents went for a ride on an elephant which they quite enjoyed and was worth the price.

We didn't go since we had done something similar in Thailand. There is a tea shop attached to the place from which we can buy bananas and feed the elephants.

It was an enjoyable visit overall.

Loved the place and the people. We went there, as it was bit rush, I booked for next day. Next day when we went there, it was like super cool place and people. Helped us to sit in the biggest elephant. Excellent trip. Infact my wife was not ready, we actually booked only for kids, they also enjoyed.

Nice place visit in Thekkady
Elephant ride - 500 per head
Elephant bath - 750 per head
Two persons should ride if they want to ride , single person was not allowed.
They have 5 to 6 elephants and they are trained.

Hell of an experience. It looks easy to ride on an elephant, particularly inside unpaved forest road but it's not. As a first time rider my wife almost cried. We enjoyed the thrill and the adrenaline rush. Elephant mahouts tries to sell you elephant's hair and all. Better don't encourage these types of things. My opinion. On holidays you need to wait gor your turn for a ride. It worths the wait.

Beautiful and reasonable place to enjoy elephant ride, elephant Bath and elephant feeding

Superb experience an elephant ride with family, don't miss it and you can see how the elephants are trained and you can directly feed the food to elephants

This was the best part of our Tekkadi visit.

Very friendly people and calm elephants. The elephant trainer Mr. Deepak and his elephant chamali was so nice and fun ride.

Enjoyed !

Very well maintained ! We took safari plus an elephant shower, a photograph package - Inr 1250 per head. But they will give discount if there are more ppl.

Safari is inside the plantation - recommended for people who never tried safari before.

Ultimate experience is bathing elephant.

Thanks to the management and team there

Nice place, good and polite staff. Especially the incharge there was quite helpful to guide us on what to see in Thekkady. The place had three elephants, all were female. Two around 30 years old and one of was close to 15. We rode on top of the 30 year old “Meera”. She is one cute and lovely elephant.
Elephant bath was not there the day we went there. This is part of a plantation and there is a heritage resort next to this, owned by the same party.
The elephant tamers were also very nice and well behaved. Took pictures for us.

Had a great experience riding on an elephant. It was a smooth ride of 20 mins. Mahouts known as elephant handlers were amazing who clicked our pictures entire time.
Had fun 20 mins.

Awesome place, Must Visit place at Thekkady. Best for Children.

Wow place for kids!!!🦣
One of the best places to visit in Thekkady. They have 4 - 5 elephants for riding, it takes 15 to 20 mins for a single ride. The elephant jockey is also very friendly and they take us many photos and videos while we ride on our mobile. After the ride got over, they were taken to the elephant for a few photos very near for blessing shorts, they don't charge anything extra for photos. They are charging around 500 / person and minimum tickets will be given for two persons only. They have a parking space for a few cars. They are located very near to the junction. Kids can enjoy it a lot. Its very crowded during weekends and holidays.

Very exciting and nice riding experience. There is a good care of elephants. The free elephants are playing by rotating their heads , which shows that they are treating elephants with very much care.
We saw resting elephants playing with the food given to them.

Elephant ride was good. We were able to feed the one which carried us and also take photos touching and standing near the elephant. Interesting note-only females are allowed to carry tourists and not males...
