What Makes Elefanjoy a Top Elephant Sanctuary in Jaipur?

1). Commitment to Ethical Treatment & Conservation of Elephants

A Dream, A Vision and Hunger for protecting the elephants who went through abusive and negligent conditions led Mr. Ankit Pareek to establish Elefanjoy. During his growing years, Mr. Ankit realized the pressing need for a safe place for these gentle giants.

After much planning, efforts and execution, a safe haven was built for around 20+ elephants in Jaipur in 2012. These majestic beings were rescued from different parts of India. After that, these elephants were relocated to Jaipur where they are now receiving care and support in the best possible way!

2). Unique and Engaging Activities with the Elephants

Most travellers who come to Jaipur search for Elephant Ride or Elephant Safari in Jaipur. But, Elefanjoy brings a whole new concept that both the visitors and Elephants will truly enjoy!

After getting the colours, our elephant will stay stationary or in a resting position so that you can make them beautiful with the non-toxic colours. After the painting session is over, you can even take pictures with them.

3). Elephant Walks – Closely Interact with Our Gentle Giants

One of the best things to do in elephant sanctuary is going on a magical walk with our elephants.
Many travellers usually search for an Elephant safari or Elephant ride in Jaipur. But, in these activities, you will never get the chance to truly interact with the elephants.

This is where Elefanjoy brings a unique and satisfying experience for visitors!
You get the rare opportunity to walk with them side by side, pet them and even try talking to them by making unique sounds. As the elephants walk, you will hear these magnificent creatures breathe and rumble. See them up close and get to know them in a more intimate way!

4). Elephant Showers (Not available from October to February)

This is another delightful activity that you will love at Elefanjoy. During the summer times or hot weather, our elephants tend to get dehydrated.

By bathing them with cool and refreshing water, you get them to relax and rejuvenate. Not just humans, even animals like the elephants need to cool down from time to time.
