Such a great, memorable experience! I really enjoyed it would reccommend as staff are so kind too. Definitely worth it.
August 13, 2022Elephant Village was the highlight of our trip! The staff are so friendly and helpful! They answered all our questions and made sure everyone was comfortable with the elephants and... read more activities. They are truly passionate about the elephants and take such good care of them. My family and I had an incredible time getting to know the elephants, doing the painting activity, shower activity and walking with the elephants! It was such a unique and fun experience and i highly highly recommend visiting Hathi Goan:) I’m so happy we added this activity to our itinerary, it was definitely worth it!
July 8, 2022This was such an amazing experience! We are just delighted by kindness of Elephanjoy staff and this opportunity to spend sime time with elephants. They are truly magnificent creatures; seeing... read more them and spending time with them was something we'll never forget. More that the riding itself, we enjoyed bonding with the elephant on more natural, human way - bathing her, feeding her, walking with her and hugging her trunk. 🙂 Everyone in Elephanjoy Sanctuary made us feel completely comfortable and at home. We are so grateful to them and to the elephants for giving us one of the greatest experiences of our lives!

My guide recommended this place (elefanjoy) with high rating but honestly, these people make money through these poor elephants and we rob foreign and indian. The staff is rude... read more and the service is terrible. These guys literally charge you everything from sitting on an elephant to taking pictures with the elephant for a few minutes and be aware that the staff is very strong. They take your pictures with their professional camera even if you have your own cameras and they print out very poor quality picture and force you to buy it they cost it around 500 bucks, me unquality Because they don't want it but they force unnecessary things on their customers. Foreigners will try to make as much money as possible from you if you don't speak the language or if you are with their guide, so be careful. Also personally I think that art work on elephant is a pathetic option to earn money and force elephants to take sun safaris during summer season should be exempted at least during summers.
August 13, 2022My husband and I visited this elephant sanctuary and a young man explained to us everything about the elephants and the sanctuary. He told us about the activities available to... read more us. We chose to walk with the elephant. Then a young man, Ali, took us to an elephant called Maria and told us about what she eats and how many words she responds too. Then we walked with the elephant around a trail. We were very impressed with how clean the elephant enclosures were and how well they treat the elephants. I highly recommend this activity in Jaipur. It was definitely the highlight of our trip.

We were a group of 15 people and they took good care... read more of us. They told us about the history of the place, their mission, and overall background on their conservation efforts. Everyone agreed this was the best part of our India tour thus far, highly recommended!

It was amazing experience for me and wife Elefanjoy elephant sanctuary is doing amazing I have been visited Nepal, Thailand and South India but I never saw elephants free in... read more open area without chain I got chance to touch the elephant first time In my life I feed them paint and the amazing part is walk with elephants elephant shower all activities are amazing but introduction and walk with elephants is amazing while walk with elephants.
Thank you so much Ankit and his entire team definitely I will visit soon.
September 29, 2022I and my wife had a great experience here today. The sanctuary was very clean and the elephants looked happy and healthy. This was the fourth sanctuary I visited across... read more the globe and so far this was the best experience. I took the full package where I and my wife did elephant feeding, painting, and walking. I did not see any bruise or wound marks on the elephant's neck or anywhere on the body. I spend approx 2 hours with the animal and did not see any marks. The staffs and volunteers were very friendly. This is a place where you can have fun with your friends and family without hurting or forcing the elephant. All elephants here are rescued from the circus. Go enjoy and have a great time at this sanctuary which will also help all these rescued animals.

About Our Services (Fun with Elephant)
Introduction
Elefanjoy is one of a kind Asiatic elephant wildlife sanctuary in Jaipur where you can dive deep into the lives of these majestic animals to have an experience of a lifetime. At Elefanjoy, we want to make people aware of these animals’ habitats and learn more about them in a fun and interactive way. At our sanctuary, you can interact with elephants, feed them, paint with them, and give them a fun shower!
At Elefanjoy, we have created a haven for Asiatic elephants. Here, you can get up close and personal with these beautiful creatures we rescued from abusive and negligent living conditions. All our proceeds go to the welfare of these animals. At Elefanjoy, you can enjoy being close to nature and uplift your spirits by spending time with these gentle giants.
During your day’s reprieve at Elefanjoy, you can help us care for the elephants and, simultaneously, have a fun vacation with your friends and family.
Things to do at Elefanjoy


Let's start with trunk shakes! (Meeting with elephants)
Once you reach the sanctuary, our caretakers will be there to greet you and take you to meet elephants. The feeling you get when you see these gentle giants is mesmerizing, and one can never get used to it. If you feel the jitters when going near our elephants, don’t worry. Our staff will explain the right way to befriend these beautiful animals.
You can know them individually by name, pet their trunks, and feel humbled by their magnificence.

Showcase your creativity with elephant painting!
Rajasthan is known for its vibrant culture and traditions, and art is a big part of it. How can we let you leave without experiencing a bit of that grandeur? That’s why next on the list is to have fun with our elephants by painting them. You can go all in and create a riot of colors, shapes, and designs on our elephants. Make them picture-perfect for your photographs! Worried about the paint and the toxic chemicals in the colors that can hurt the elephants? We were too! That’s why we only use eco-friendly colors made with natural plant-based dyes for our elephant painting activities. The brush is also designed with bamboo sticks, so the elephants are not harmed. (Paint your heart out!)



It's chow time!
Feeding elephants is the best way to get close to an elephant’s heart. They love bananas, sugarcane, bamboo leaves, and tree bark. Feed them with your hands to see how happy they are to be fed. We will guide you through the feeding process before handing out treats.
A humble request: Please don’t bring any food with you to feed our elephants. At Elepfanjoy, we provide all our elephants’ food for feeding sessions. You can let us know any unique treats you want to feed, and we can arrange them for you.

Time for some splish-splash!
Elephants love water and mud baths, and the summers of Jaipur make bathing an ideal activity for both you and the elephants. Get on to the back of our elephants for a thrilling water spray from their trunks, scrub, and pet them for a fantastic bathing experience with elephants. Or watch an elephant enjoy the water during hot summers. (Bathing is not possible during winters.)



Time for a stroll! (Walk with elephants)
After the fun bathing session, you can enjoy a stroll with our elephants in the sanctuary. The peace and serenity you feel in the presence of these animals in the middle of nature can relax you and fill you with soul-filling joy.
We don’t promote elephant back riding to our guests as it can harm our elephant’s back and spine in the long term when they carry people on buggies on their backs.
About Elefanjoy

Elefanjoy was started with a dream to protect and provide for elephants in negligent and abusive conditions by Mr. Ankit Pareek. Ankit is a certified Yoga practitioner and trainer who has spent his childhood with the elephants in Jaipur. He has won several Gold medals in state competitions. As he grew up, he realized the need for a safe space for these majestic beings on earth who are treated cruelly.
That’s how, in 2012, he founded Elefanjoy and spent all his time building the best wildlife elephant sanctuary in India for Asiatic elephants. Since then, Elefanjoy has been caring for these animals and striving to make people more aware of their conservation. Ankit takes his morning and evening Yoga sessions these days and spends the rest of his free time caring for these elephants now.
We have about 20 elephants at Elefanjoy from all across the country who need a safe abode. Through Elefanjoy, we try to provide and care for these animals in the best way possible.
