Elefantastic is a unique and inspiring experience that is a must do for anyone visiting India. Elefantastic is owned and managed by a former Elephant Rider ( Mahut), farm focusing on health-care and breeding management for friendly, beautiful and special elephants to produce healthy elephants to live on Earth. Although Elefantastic was only born on 21st February 2012, my family's involvement with our elephants backdate to over 4 generations ago. Before Elefantastic materialised, I was an elephant rider at amber palace for 9 years, providing riding tours for the many tourists that visited amber palace. Although I enjoyed being an elephant rider at amber palace & met many tourists, I couldn't help wanting something more meaningful, not for me, but for my elephants. Many of the tourists I met were interested in the day to day life of elephants and what I do with them, rather than just wanting an ordinary ride. As I pondered on the possible opportunities, I realized that I wanted to show people a more in depth insight into the lives of my elephants. There are vast misconceptions across India that animals - especially elephants - are very badly mistreated. I decided that I want to prove to people that this is not always the case and take a step forward in eradicating these misconceptions.This decision inspired me to start Elefantastic, which gives an insight into the daily lives of our elephants. You will see that all of our elephants are well fed, with spacious rooms, attentive vet check ups every week to make sure they're all at the peak of their health, with loving and caring riders. « less

If you only do one thing in Jaipur, this should be it. Myself and my wife had a brilliant time and were looked after impeccably by Rahul, his wonderful elephants and their riders. With just the two of us there, we were treated to an intimate view of the elephants daily life and, as Rahul explained, their comfort comes first... More

When I had booked our tour I wasnt sure if I would have a good time or not since it was june and extremely hot (45c) as soon as we were dropped of rahul greeted us with some ice cold water. And the elephants were under a shaded area so I felt comfortable right away. Rahul was so kind and... More

Our day with Chanchell and Sampa was by far one of the best experiences we have had in India. Rahul was so knowledgable, kind, and only wanted to make sure our experience was perfect. We would recommend Elephantastic to all!

This is possibly the most amazing experience for anyone that loves elephants! From the moment you contact Elephantastic you are dealt with professionally and promptly and accommodated wherever possible. This then continues when you arrive at the farm and until the moment you leave. The day is well structured to optimise your time with the elephants and nothing is left... More

I spent a day and night with Rahul, his family, and elephants and cannot recommend this place highly enough. The hospitality was fantastic and to experience the elephants up close and personal was truly amazing. If you have the opportunity to sleep with the elephants, you must. Watching these amazing creatures fall asleep while I also nodded off was very... More

If you have never riden an elephant in your life, you better do so whilst you still can! They guys at Elefantastic are all top notch people, truly caring for the animals and ensuring they are as comfortable as they can be. We visited Rahul and his elephants in May 2013 and we miss it so much we want to... More

This is a wonderful little place with all the elephants, their riders and their families. The elephants are treated very nicely and it is a unique experience to get to know a elephant. Both people and elephants are very friendly and make you feel like a part of their little family. If you want to visit a place who cares... More

As many people have already written here, Elefantastic was definitely one of the best choices we made during our stay in India. Rahul is very friendly and accommodating and really made us feel welcome and at home. The elephants are beautiful and seem very happy and well treated. I highly recommend a visit.

Elefantastic was just that -- fantastic! It is a unique opportunity to spend a day one-on-one with an elephant. Ours was named Sampa; her human companion, Raja, has been with her since her birth (35 years ago). The bond between them was evident. My friend and I got to feed Sampa handful after handful of food from the heap of... More

An absolutely amazingly experience. I cant remember the prices exactly but i think the standard package which includes everything costs 5'100 rupees, but my wife and I couldn't afford that so we spoke to Rahul went for the cheaper package for around 3'100 rupees the only thing left out was the sunset elephant ride. Both packages start at 3pm (although... More
