Elephant Camp Welcome
Estimado Viajero,

Bienvenido a Elephant Camp, un apacible santuario en las verdes colinas de Thekkady donde las tradiciones más antiguas de Kerala siguen vivas.

Durante más de quince años nuestra familia ha cuidado con cariño de los elefantes y ha acompañado a artistas y mahouts tradicionales. Cada página de este folleto es una invitación a pasear en elefante por plantaciones de especias, refrescarse con un baño interactivo y maravillarse con el Kathakali y la fuente musical.

Venga como huésped. Váyase como familia.
