Time with Elephants

Time with Elephants:

Let us spend some time with elephants.

Eleday is a unique and inspiring experience put together with care and considerable love. It is an immersive special and unique activity-filled occasion with elephants. Imagine owning a beautiful creature like an elephant for a day and this is what makes Eleday a must do activity for anyone visiting India. Time spent with these beautiful & magnificent creatures provides a special chance for you to get close and become friends with elephants. Elephants are loved here, and no activity is supported which is cruel or harmful to them. Organic colors are used to decorate the elephants. All elephants are female which makes them loving and gentle for our guests who wish to feed, play or bathe these lovely giants.

First contact is always important! When meeting an elephant for the first time you have to let them catch your smell. Make them feel comfortable by stroking and talking to them while looking into their eyes. Let the elephant feel your energy and spirit.

You might have heard of the saying “love goes through the stomach”? Well, elephants are no exception. Feeding is the easiest way to gain their trust. You will get a chance to feed them while learning their feeding habits and what they enjoy most – EATING!

Learn about the completely natural paint that is used to paint them. Create a traditional painting on the elephants face. If you’re not great at drawing don’t worry, we can paint the outlines on their face and you fill in the gaps with colors of your choice

Ride the elephants without a howdah (an effective saddle). Most elephant rides incorporate a howdah, which offers added comfort which many guests prefer, but for an even closer experience with the elephants ride without such a howdah. Learn how to ride on their neck, and communicate through different spoken commands.

Late afternoon is time to wash and scrub the elephants. If opportunity permits shower, wash & scrub them at pool side in the garden.

Alcoholic drinks or any form of drugs are not allowed.

Be aware that Eleday is not a luxury hotel or a luxury place. There is nothing artificial for the guests. Everything is as it would normally be during any given day in the life of one of these majestic creatures.

Your interactive opportunities will depend on the amount of time (from 2 hours to most of the day) you spend at Eleday.
