Client Feedback & Reviews

Had such a lovely time at Elephant Care Nepal! 🐘 We got to learn so much about elephants — how they live, what they do in the jungle, and how they’re cared for. The best part was getting to bath with them and meet the cutest little baby elephant! 🥰 It was such a beautiful experience, and I really think more people should visit and support this program to help spread love and awareness for gentle giants ♥️

Inisha Prajapati

My son and I had an unforgettable day at Elephant Care, discovering the incredible dedication and compassion that go into caring for these majestic animals. From feeding and bathing to walking alongside them through the lush jungle and watching them enjoy a peaceful river bath, every moment was heartwarming and meaningful. It’s an experience that opened our hearts and reminded us how important it is to support sanctuaries like this, where elephants are treated with the love and respect they deserve.

Fawn

It was a short visit but we felt that the elephants were very well taken care of. An ethical alternative to elephant riding, promoting walks with the elephants and spending time with them while bathing rather than elephant rides. Also, was nice to see the elephants not on a chain. A must visit once in town.
