Elephants were not native to Bali, so no one knows how it got it's name.  Some locals told us it got it's name from a near by river that was once called Elephant River.  It is an 11th century monk's cell.  Maybe the face carving above the cave entrance once had a longer nose (that has since broke off) so it was called Elephant Cave.
