One of our highlights on our recent spiritual adventure in south India was bathing elephants in the hill stations of Periyar. Periyar in the western ghats of Kerala in South India is a refuge of rolling hills, lush green forests, amazing wildlife and countless tea and spice plantations. The western ghats or Sahyadri Mountains run north to south along the western side of India. These hills are the perfect getaway from the heat of the south during the summer.
We were only in Periyar for a night but took this brief opportunity here to spend time with the many elephants that live in this area.
Everyone enjoyed scrubbing this elephant but I think the elephant enjoyed it even more…..
Time for this elephant to return the favor.
Some snacks for all the hard work….large pieces of pumpkin.
