Two weeks back I was on a holiday to Guruvayoor & Munnar. Guruvayoor is one of the most regarded holy places in South India, it has a popular Lord Krishna Temple (Krishna in his child form). Munnar is a lovely hill station about 3 hours drive from Cochin, Kerala.
The Guruvayoor temple devasthanam maintains a well run Elephant santuary, which has over 65 elephants of different age, sex and origin (from various places of India). It is fun to watch the elephants get bath, eat, walk & even dance.
