This facility was set up by the Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1975 to feed, nurse and care for orphaned elephants. It began with only 7 elephants, and now hosts a population that is nearing a hundred. The elephants are friendly, and tourists gather to watch a herd of them take a bath and splash around in the river.
