Now a special village is being created to house the pachyderms. The complex, which aims to be a tourist attraction in itself, will have the capacity to lodge over 50 elephants and also a pond for the animals to wallow in. It will have a veterinary hospital, restaurants and a museum for tourists. Akin to a park, the complex will also have rooms for their mahouts. The foundation work for 24 sheds to house the elephants - that are a big draw with tourists - has been completed. The project will be completed by 2008 at a cost of Rs.50 million, officials said.
