Jaipur: Elephant Sanctuary
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 09:00 - 20:00
The Vibe:Time with an elephant, not on one.
Set in the elephant village near Amer, these sanctuaries house animals retired or rescued from working roles. Visits centre on feeding, walking and learning about daily care from the mahouts.
Elephants move slowly through dusty enclosures with their keepers close by. Feeding is hands-on, unhurried and closer than most people expect.
