Elephant place near Varkala

hi there,

I'm trying to get some information on the elephant place near Varkala...

i visited it just before Christmas and there was a 6 month old elephant there.

Does anyone know where it is? We went in a tuktuk (for ages!) and I have no idea what it was called or anything.

Thanks

Does nobody know?

Really?

They promote it all through Varkala in the little agents next to the bamboo huts, etc...

I think the place you are looking for is the Puthen Kulam
elephant sanctuary. We visited it in December and there was a baby elephant there.

Here is a link to our web site with photographs of the elephants at the sanctuary.
