Visitors practice guided observation and breathing while alongside elephants.

Kerala has unveiled Elephant Mindfulness Walks, allowing tourists to stroll alongside trained elephants while engaging in guided breathing and reflection. According to The Hindu, sessions focus on observing elephant behavior, ethical interaction, and meditative practices.

Participants report relaxation, curiosity, and immersive experience. Trainers emphasize safety, animal welfare, and structured guidance. Critics question novelty versus conservation, but supporters highlight tourism appeal, wellness, and educational enrichment. Future plans include extended retreats, thematic walks, and collaborative mindfulness workshops.
