Sri Lanka stays with you not just in memory, but gently reminds you what a society can achieve when heart and heritage guide the way.
The Star and the Skipper and some adorable elephants.
There is more in common between Sri Lanka and India than we can imagine. Part three of a travelogue.
For years, elephants have gone through unspeakable torture and abuse at the hands of human beings -- from hunters and poachers targeting them for sport or their tusks, to people trying to tame them for entertainment purposes -- they have been beaten, shocked, and whipped into submission Since there's no concrete way to curb this violence, Kerala has come up with a unique initiative to help them - an elephant rehabilitation centre. Take a look at the home for the gentle giants situated at Kottoor, an ecotourism village situated nearly 35 km from Thiruvananthapuram.
Kaavan, the world's loneliest elephant, will finally get a chance to live in a place he can call home.
