Workers said the elephant stole some mangoes from the lodge before climbing back out over the wall.

Lodge manager Ian Salisbury said lodge guests were amused by the elephant's maneuver.

"He just chose the most direct route and made himself right at home. The guests were very amused at the idea of a climbing elephant," Salisbury told Times Now News.
