Elefriend — Local services in Jaipur Municipal Corporation

One of the best experiences in my whole Asian trip.

Kabeer, his little cousin and his whole family are all very friendly people, they are helpful without even asking for a special tip for any single action (like it is in so many other places).

The Elefriend Village is a Village with many many many elephants (over 100) living in it. Even more elephants than people.

We did sit around and had a little talk to find out what exactly we want to do. There are many different things that you can do.

So we climbed on the elephant (no fear, the animal even helps you up) and did a ride together with the rider sitting in front. After we did got a little safer feeling about it we even where allowed to ride the elephant all by our own (everyone had his own one) with the riders walking by and taking care. While doing this they were so friendly to take a lot of photos and videos (no extra costs our anything).

After a amazing ride all around the beautiful and quiet area we went back to the central place where we started, climbed off to feed our big impressive friends and took some nice pictures again.

At the end we we're sitting around on a lawn in a circle with Kabeer, his father and of course Raj Kumar (our taxi driver, the best one you can get btw) and had a nice little talk in this chilling atmosphere.

Fair deals, no time pressure and a real pleasure to be there.

A "must-see" in India!

100%...

Safety and tourist care is on point. You may get many different activities ( like,painting on them using natural colour provided by them,introduction with elephants,feeding them, riding nd so on)with elephant , you can have combo pack or whatever as you like. They would explain you so well. But disclaimer: you will find so much tourists guide on road, in case of guiding elefriend ( local: hati gaon), they are absolutely scam, don't...

One of the best experiences in Jaipur and the hole country of India. Instead of animal cruelty you will find pure love for the elephants, where you can feed them, have some time with them, touch them with love and experience a charming calm from the animal that’s pure gold. Don’t miss the chance of sharing a little of your soul with one of the most touching spirit in the world. Truly...
