    Description

    Volunteer India Jaipur Elephant Conservation Center

    The elephants in Jaipur have a long history of being part of religious and Indian cultural ceremonies for centuries. Today in Jaipur, the main use for Elephants is with the tourist trade. By joining this program you will have an unforgettable experience learning about elephants and contributing help to their mahouts (riders & care takers).

    Volunteers will involve themselves into each activity that mahouts do every day. This means making food bundles, feeding elephants, cleaning their shelters, washing them, massaging their head, trimming their nails, decorating them before going for a ride and simply to enjoy their presence.

    *Imp: The transportation in not included to the program. The transportation cost is around US$7 - 10 a day by Tuk-tuk (motorcycle ride) can be divided between 2 - 3 volunteers (30km ride).
