good experience.. though the queues can be long. Go in early so that u don't have to wait. Helpful people carry your camera. ALso ensure if in a group u get to ride one after another so that can take some good pics.

This is my first experience ..we enjoyed a lot.. nice ride.. We got somany photographs... Will reccomend to our friend to go for this ride. Service is Ok.. There cost is looking bit higher.. Out of Periyar lake this is another time pass...

a memorable elephant ride. They charged Rs. 350 per person. Ensure that you give your camera to the Mahout as he is experienced and can fetch you really good snaps with the elephant signalling or waving ! do have a cup of tea (awesome) outside the waiting area.

we chose the hour option, 30 minutes ride, fed the elephant & then the elephant made light work of lifting a tree trunk.

It was an experience worth a note so came back to pin it up for travellers to the spot. It is something u can not to miss cause it not jus a ride on the elephant but a bath for the buddy n the ride is inside a spice plantation farm though it is inside a farm house you never... More

We visited with our kids and loved it. The highlight was the elephant shower, which was part of the ride and feeding package we opted for. Recommended.

I agree about the exploitation of the elephants, and found the sight of the chained elephants quite distressing. I'm also doubtful that the so called 'mahoots' are kind to their elephants. Our 'ride' was just up the hill and down again. When we returned I saw a keeper jab a young elephant very sharply which made her yelp.

This is a must do! You get a guided tour around the property. Then you get to ride the elephants and then feed them. There is a option to bathe the elephants then get on their back and they throw water on you. It was such an amazing experience. The elephants are gentle.
