Kaprikad is a rural riverside village of Ernakulam district, Kerala, southern India.

Kaprikad is situated on the south bank of Periyar river, about 42 kilometers east of Kochi.

The village is a major tourist destination in the district because it houses the Kodanad Abhayaranyam animal shelter and elephant training centre.

Kaprikad has got private bus services to places inside Perumbavoor and run into several neighbouring towns.

As a part of this project, Kaprikkad, a village lying 3 km adjacent to Kodanad on the river bank, has been set up in 2006 for entertaining visitors in the most natural and environmental friendly way.
