Attractions: The Konni Elephant Training Centre:-

Konni is a major elephant training center. Located 11 km from Pathanamthitta , it is a major tourists attraction. The prime attraction here is the huge cages built of wood to house elephants. These cage are locally known as Aanakoodu and can accommodate 3- 4 elephants at a time.
The trainers here train the baby elephants which get separated from their herd, or are found wounded or roaming in the forest. Experienced trainers using their systematic training methods, tame the baby elephants.
