Hathi Gaon, also known as Elephant Village, is 4 km away from Amber Fort. The area covered by Hathi Gaon in Jaipur is 30.5 hectares. The Rajasthan Forest Department, Jaipur Development Authority, and Rajasthan Tourism collaborated to build this. About 100 elephants are kept in the village by the mahouts and their families. The elephant shelters known as "Thaans," or Haathi Thaans, have reportedly been built in accordance with the guidelines established by the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change.
The Elephant Welfare Society is in charge of overseeing and maintaining Jaipur's elephant hamlet. The elephants in Jaipur's elephant community have access to an artificial pond where they can bathe. This elephant village in Jaipur is India’s first village for elephants.
