Konni has a major elephant training center, located 11 km from Pathanamthitta. The prime attraction here are the huge cages of wood built to house elephants. These cages are locally known as Aanakoodu and can accommodate 3 to 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. Visitors can get a close look at these elephants and can observe and understand a lot about their behaviour, especially that of baby elephants, which are often endearingly mischievous.
Konni is famous for the elephant trainning centre since ancient times. The elephants were captured from the dense forests of the western ghats/Sahyadri and brought to the elephant trainning cage at Konni. There these wild elephants are tamed and trained by mahouts specialized as elephant tainers. These trainers take the help of other tamed elephants.

The dimensions of the training cage are - Length of 12.65 Meters, Width of 8.60 Meters and a Height of 7 Meters. The elephant training cage and its premises comprises 9 acres (36,000 m2) of land.
