We had an amazing experience at Ellie Friend Ride in Jaipur yesterday! As a family, it was a truly memorable outing. Both the kids had a fantastic time and were absolutely thrilled throughout.
From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly warm, engaging, and responsive. They took great care of us and made sure we had the space and time to enjoy every activity. We especially loved the elephant bathing, painting, and feeding sessions. The kids were particularly excited about feeding the elephant — such a unique and joyful experience!
Our elephant, Chanchal, was simply wonderful. She was gentle, friendly, and her beautiful, expressive eyes captivated all of us. The elephant ride was also a highlight — smooth, safe, and enjoyable.
One small suggestion we have is to renovate the restroom area. It would be great to have a separate shower area, a changing room, and a separate toilet. This would really enhance the hygiene and comfort for visitors, especially after the bathing activity.
Overall, it was a day full of laughter, learning, and bonding with these magnificent animals. We highly recommend Ellie Friend Ride to anyone visiting Jaipur — and even to local residents. It’s a wonderful, heartwarming experience that everyone should try...
Read moreAn Absolute Dream with Elefriendride Jaipur!
Honestly, I can't stop smiling when I think about our day with Elefriendride! If you're looking for a truly magical experience in Jaipur, this is it. It's not just a touristy thing; it felt like a genuine connection with these incredible elephants. My family and I got to walk alongside them, feel their gentle strength as we rode, and even try our hand at painting them (which was way more fun and therapeutic than I expected!). Feeding them was a real highlight – their big, soft trunks are just amazing! And bathing them? Pure joy! It's one of those bucket list adventures that you'll talk about for years. Plus, I have to give a huge shoutout to our guide, Farhan. He was absolutely fantastic! So friendly, knowledgeable, and you could tell he really cared about the elephants. He made sure we felt comfortable and safe the whole time, and he even managed to capture some of the most beautiful family photos and videos we've ever had. Seriously, the guy's a pro! If you want a day filled with laughter, wonder, and unforgettable memories, Elefriendride is the place to be. We're already dreaming...
Read moreOne of the best offbeat and nature experiences to do in Jaipur.
Can easily be combined with Amer Fort visit. Do keep 3-4 hours for this activity.
All the elephant activities are located in Hathi Gao.
We booked our experience with Elefriendride which is a highly recommended agency. They do excellent coordination and pick you from the main highway itself. They offer the entire gamut of elephant activities at a competitive pricing and they have a big group of these large mammals and all of them seemed to be happy and taken well care of.
Their maharaths have good relationship with elephants and live with them only, that is why the elephants are playful. We did this activity as a family and our kid thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I recommend that you do carry a change of clothes, keep 3-4 hours for your activity and do it pre visit to amer fort if you dont want to get tired.
They do pass on their recommendations for local jaipur and...
