Item Description
Enjoy 7 days touring India like no one else has ever experienced! This amazing trip is not available anywhere else and is a Wildlife SOS exclusive.
Includes the following:
- Behind-The-Scenes tour of the elephant sanctuary in Agra and meet the elephants while learning about their individual stories and personalities. Watch one of our expert vets carry out an examination. You can also participate in hands-on activities like feeding and bathing the elephants.
“Elephant Conservation and Care Center” is a project of Wildlife SOS, created in 2010 in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department to rehabilitate severely abused captive elephants in distress. All the elephants housed at the center have shocking stories of the situations they had to be rescued from. Here, several elephants that used to spend their days doing hard work in often harsh conditions are living out their retirement years in peace and safety. No longer forced to bear heavy loads, or walk on hot pavement, these majestic creatures are finally able to spend their days happily, with frequent baths, a nutritious diet, and good veterinary care.
The Elephant Conservation and Care Center currently houses 23 elephants which includes 15 females and 8 male elephants. The center is full of natural vegetation with enough open fields around for their daily walks and several trees available to scratch themselves, thus making it closest to the natural habitat of the elephants. Water pools have been provided to the elephants with the free access for them to bath and play in the water, at will.
