Today, we visited the Konni Elephant Cage. This is the place where elephants who were trapped in the nearby jungles were brought for training . . .
The training has ceased since 1977. However, elephants are kept here and it is quite a tourist attraction.
Konni is a small town, about 10 kilometers south of Pathanamthitta. The nearest railway head is Chengannur (CNG) in the Trivandrum-Kottayam route of the Indian Railways.

A very informative device in the museum at the Elephant Cage. One can hear the sounds that different wild animals make by clicking on a display. |
