The Urulanthanni River is located in the southmost part of India. The beautiful body of water is surrounded by forests which the local elephants look to as a sanctuary. The thickness of the forest provides them with privacy, but they are allowed to come and go as they please. The humans leave them be, considering their enormous size, but also consider them friends.
The residents often compared the feeling of the herd passing to experiencing a passing train – the ground would shake just the same. The elephants seemed to use the same paths, so it was understood that they seemed to know where they were going and were not afraid to cut through the forest.
