 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went with a large group of families and kids. We were about 18 and Kiran mentioned that they avoid multiple bookings to ensure groups have privacy. This was such a blessing as we had the entire place to ourselves
These people have an amazing place. The view from the place is just too beautiful. It almost felt like Milford sounds (with the only exception of snow peaks). Food is simple and nice. I believe they r setting up their own kitchen now and hence food will become much better.
Swimming was an amazing experience. Back waters are clean and beautiful.
Comfortable tents and clean toilets. Hot water is available in the morning for bath - this is a big thing in such camps.
Overall a memorable experience.will definitely recommend to others!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this Special Enjoyable Place for those who wish to cherish each and every moment. Rather connecting with nature - became inclusive with nature. On behalf of Environment Day we were able to contribute a bit for mother nature at Laughing Elephants Camp.

At this camp interconnected with nature, environment, water, spirituality and in-depth about elephants and their hardship from human intervention.

Kiran Chandrashekarji gave us motherly care and mingled himself with us as if like childhood friend. His oratory and vast knowledge is exemplary and anyone sits with starts picturing within situation.

Thank a ton to Mr Kiran for this wonderful gift inbetween city's never ending tensions .

Rather comforting ourselves, we were re-energised by the camp site with hearty helping hands of Mr Ganapathy and Mr Maani. Homely food was simply superb and hygienic management without disturbing nature is clear cut thumbs up.

At Laughing Elephants love remains consistent and Mr Kiran led team simply delivers extraordinary secure feeling to stay there without tensions.

Wish all good and best of best luck to Team Laughing Elephants with high environmental concern and let ur passion remain healthy and let ur plans get executed well in coming days.

An excellent place close to nature,  pampered by hospitality, a beautiful kind heart for animals with respect for their existence in this world, will boost your emotional intelligence. An introduction to vipasasana will drive you towards the ultimate goal while engaging existing modren society's challenges in appropriately using mind's faculties suitably. A must and sure visit for everyone.
