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.
There is more in common between Sri Lanka and India than we can imagine. Part three of a travelogue.
The Star and the Skipper and some adorable elephants.
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.
