Elephant safari

Elephant Safaris in Munnar offer a unique and memorable experience for tourists who want to enjoy the natural beauty of the hills in a traditional and adventurous way. These safaris are mainly available at Carmelagiri Elephant Park, located close to Munnar town.

During the ride, tourists sit on a specially made seat on the elephant's back and are taken through short trails that pass through tea plantations, forested areas and scenic viewpoints. The calm, steady speed of the elephant allows travelers to relax and enjoy the surroundings from a higher view.

Significance

Elephant safaris adds uniqueness to the usual sightseeing tours of tea gardens and waterfalls. They help promote eco tourism and cultural experiences, as elephants are deeply connected to Kerala's traditions and history.

Riding an elephant through the peaceful hills of Munnar creates a strong connection with nature and adds a touch of adventure to the tour. You can also feel more wildlife experience in Anakulam, where wild elephants come to drink water naturally. 

How To Reach
