Sanctuary

Sanctuary

We have been recognised as #3 thing to do in India by Tripadvisor and proudly the only elephant night stay experience in India!

Padharo sa…welcome! If you’re here, then we can safely assume that like us, you love elephants too!

Anchored by the conviction that an Elephant Sanctuary provides a critical foundation for breaking the cycle of elephant tourism in Jaipur, Elefantastic works for domesticated elephants of Jaipur with low-income, marginalised caretaker families to run a sanctuary, to provide welfare services and to raise awareness for Asian elephants. Watch our story on BBC.

Meeting & Introduction

Meeting & Introduction

The first contact is always important! When meeting an Asian elephant for the first time, you have to let them catch your smell. Make them feel comfortable by stroking and talking to them while looking into their eyes.

Feeding the elephant

Feeding the elephant

You might have heard of the saying, 'a way to anyone's heart is through the stomach'. Well, elephants are no exception. Feeding is the easiest way to gain their trust. You will get a chance to feed them while learning their feeding habits and what they enjoy eating the most.

Mud Bath With Elephant - A Fun Session

Mud Bath With Elephant - A Fun Session

Mud Bath with Elephants is an excellent way to express our genuine affection for these magnificent creatures. The elephants enjoy this experience, but it's also a wonderful way to maintain the health of their skin and your skin will also feel soft and cool as the mud's natural minerals revitalize and cleanse it. Next to you, these soft giants enjoy the lighthearted custom, splattering mud with their trunks and savoring the pure happiness of the occasion. A memorable symphony of connection with nature is created when laughing and soft trumpets blend, filling the air with an earthy scent.

Walking with the elephants in the village

Walking with the elephants in the village

Instead of elephant rides, we promote an alternative experience at Elefantastic, where guests get to walk with our elephants in our town. This initiative will hopefully set the precedence to raise awareness towards elephant welfare.

Elephant washing & shower

Elephant washing & shower

In the late afternoon, we wash and scrub our elephants. As per the Forest Department of India guidelines, we cannot let you in the Lake with elephants for safety purposes. So instead, you wash and scrub them at the sanctuary. During the shower, guests can enjoy watching the elephants and if they are lucky, an elephant may spray water from its trunk on them.

Home-cooked vegetarian meal

Home-cooked vegetarian meal

A delicious home-cooked vegetarian meal awaits you at my home. You don’t need to worry about hygiene and cleanliness; my mother cooks it herself and takes the utmost care when preparing food. This experience will also give you a chance to see a slice of real Indian hospitality.

I am ready for Elefantastic

People travel to faraway places to watch, feel, taste and live in fascination, the kind of life they haven’t explored yet. In early 2015, our founder – Rahul Sharma made it his personal mission to provide an enjoyable travel experience.

Now that you’re here, we are excited to host you. Let’s help you plan your very own Elefantastic adventure! Magic awaits…
