The elephants are taught to obey specific commands and are taken for special exercise walks in the morning, are given baths and specific diets. At Konni, one gets to observe this training procedure in person. The baby elephants love playing with the guests. Bigger elephants are used for rides around the place. The nearest railway station is at Chengannur, about 35 km away.
