Mudumalai Tiger Reserve - The Elephant Camp Experience.
Theppakadu Elephant Camp的点评
点评：This is part of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve and is a thriving Elephant Conservation and Rehabilitation Centre having about 25 Elephants including Calves, Cows and Bulls.
It would be worthwhile to mention here that ‘The Elephant Whispers’, the Oscar-winning documentary was filmed in 2022 entirely in this same centre only. The protagonists of the documentary – an indigenous couple named Bomman and Bellie, and the orphaned baby Indian elephant named ‘Raghu’ – are all still very much there.
The extensive campus located on the banks of the Moyar River is kept neat and clean and is very well-maintained by its staff despite the heavy footfalls of tourists and visitors who throng the centre to see the elephants being hand-fed and meticulously cared for.
For those who go on the jungle safari, the ticket fare covers a visit to this Elephant Camp. Others can buy a ticket from the Reception and Interpretation Centre for a nominal amount of Rs. 30/- per head. The elephant feeding time is on a half-an-hour slot each of 08:30 to 09:00 in the mornings and between 05:30 to 06:00 in the evenings.
To watch Elephants at such close quarters and to see and experience how they are fed and cared for, this place provides an amazing opportunity. Each of the residents of this camp has its own name and they respond to their mahouts obediently like a dog would to its master !
All the Elephants in the camp are regularly supervised by a team of Veterinarians to ensure their well-being. Likewise, each Elephant is given its own special diet, depending on what the Veterinarians decide. The morning and evening feed are systematically arranged according to the names of each of the Elephants in the Camp, which they are fed at the specified time slots. The rest of the day, the Elephants are led to the forests nearby by their handlers and are allowed to feed in their natural surroundings, as they would in the wild. The Moyar River which flows nearby is the place where these elephants are led for their daily baths.
A visit to the Elephant Camp is a must and would surely be worth one’s time while at the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in Theppakadu.

翻译：这是穆杜马莱老虎保护区的一部分，是一个蓬勃发展的大象保护和康复中心，拥有大约 25 头大象，包括小象、母象和公象。
值得一提的是，奥斯卡获奖纪录片《大象低语》于 2022 年完全在同一中心拍摄。纪录片的主角——一对名叫 Bomman 和 Bellie 的土著夫妇，以及名叫“Raghu”的孤儿印度小象——都还在那里。
位于莫亚尔河畔的广阔校园保持整洁干净，工作人员维护得非常好，尽管游客和访客人潮涌入中心，观看大象被亲手喂养和精心照顾。
对于那些参加丛林探险的人来说，门票费用包括参观这个大象营。其他人可以从接待和解说中心以每头 30 卢比的象征性价格购买门票。大象喂食时间为上午 08:30 至 09:00 和晚上 05:30 至 06:00，每次半小时。
近距离观察大象，并观察和体验如何喂养和照顾它们，这个地方提供了一个绝佳的机会。这个营地的每头大象都有自己的名字，它们对驯象人的反应很顺从，就像狗对主人一样！
营地里的所有大象都由一组兽医定期监督，以确保它们的健康。同样，每头大象都有自己的特殊饮食，具体取决于兽医的决定。早上和晚上的喂食是根据营地里每头大象的名字系统地安排的，并在指定的时间段喂食。一天的剩余时间，大象会被饲养员带到附近的森林，并被允许在自然环境中觅食，就像在野外一样。附近的莫亚尔河是大象每天洗澡的地方。
参观大象营是必须的，在 Theppakadu 的 Mudumalai 老虎保护区，这绝对值得一去。
