EleJungle was a surprise in that everything seemed very well maintained and organized. As we arrived, we were greeted by staff, which led us to a waiting zone and explained the process and the different options regarding activity with the elephants. Prices are very nice, specially since we were 8 people and they gave us a discount on that. We were unsure as to whether riding elephants would be appropriate, considering the animal treatment. However, the caretaker assured us elephants require daily exercise which would otherwise not be achieved in captivity without these rides. Moreover, the elephants seemed well groomed and clean. They were clearly treated well, unlike in other elephant riding places I've seen in India. The ride was very nice, about 20min around a small village compound. It's relaxing and pretty quiet by India standards. At the end we were able to pet the elephants and ask another thousand questions, to which the caretaker was more than happy to answer. It really seemed as though he was passionate about these animals and worried for their well-being. All in all, a great experience!

My guide recommended this place with high ratings but honestly, these people just make money through these poor elephants and loot us the citizens and forigners.
The employees are rude and the service is horrible. These people literally charge you for everything from sitting on the elephant to taking pictures with the elephant for just a few minutes and beware the employees are very forceful.
They take pictures of you from their professional camera even if you have your own cameras and they print out a very bad quality picture and force you to buy it they price it around 500rs, I dint want it because of the quality but they force unnecessary things on their customers.
Forigners if you don't speak the language or if you are with your guide they will try to make the most money out of you so just be cautious.
Also personal I think art work on the elephant is a pathetic option for making money and forcefully giving the elephants a bath in a cold weather should be discounted during winters atleast.

We stopped by Elejungle on the way from jaipur to new Dehli. You can choose what activities you want to do with the elephants, and we chose to feed them as we did not have time for riding. First of all, I must say that paying 5000 rupi per. person for feeding the elephants some sugarcanes and bananas for 20 minutes is way to expensive. The experience was nice, but this place is definitely not for you if you are on a budget. Second, they had a photographer there to take some pictures you could buy if you wanted to. We said to him that we did not want any photos from him before we started the feeding. He did not respect that answer and during most of the feeding and cuddling with the elephants he was saying continously "look here, look here, look here". At the end he won't stop telling us to buy the photos, and did not stop before we were sitting in the car again. It was unfortunately very annoying and did ruin some of the experience for us.
Its unfortunate, because I got the feeling that this place is taking good care of the elephants, but the whole experience with the photographer and the price was very unfortunate and I will not recommend visiting this place.

This is one of the worst elephant rides in the city. Wish I could give -1 stars. Note that most of the positive reviews are by local guides. The prices are outrageous, the elephants are treated cruelly, and the ride at Amer Fort is a thousand times better from what we heard from others.
They ask around 3000 for a ride that is barely 10 minutes long, through a dirty village street. At Amer Fort, the ride is way longer and 10 times cheaper. Amer Fort also takes you down the side of the fort, like how they did 500 years ago.
Also, the skin on the elephants is coming off due to the number of times it has been painted by tourists and washed off.
They give fake promises of a 25 minute ride through a jungle, accompanied by fake photos of happy families on elephants.
Do not be fooled by these people, as many guides and drivers will take you here instead of the better one at Amer Fort which also costs just Rs.300. BEWARE!

Upon arrival was clean and welcoming. Sat down and briefly informed about the elephants. Then informed it was 3500 rupees to ride the elephant per person. Or 8000 rupees to ride, feed, climb up and paint the elephant. So for my family was 23,000 rupees for 2 x adult ride and 2 x children for full experience. We did pay as know caring for elephants are expensive and their welfare is vital . Tour was through very dirty village. Owner was very very keen for a positive review before we left. Yes we enjoyed but as parents we know we were scammed over the price hugely. Just hope the excessive monies paid are for the elephants welfare. Also interesting at time of payment no credit card facilities only cash payment but when leaving I explained I had no cash left to buy photos.. no problem sir we take credit card !! Yes enjoyed but clearly we were used as walking cash machines. Shame.

Our guide took us there making us think this is the only place where you can ride elephants. They wanted us to pay 7400 rupees in Ra'anana, which is the "fixed price", we were about to pay and then we saw that it was written on the internet that the price should not be over 3000 rupees. The interviewer told them this and they claimed it didn't make sense. We went from there, the guide acted as if he didn't know any other places. In the end it turned out that they were just middlemen, we arrived on our own at a village containing dozens of service providers, at reasonable prices, and a total of 50 meters away. Anyone who goes there will experience cheating at the highest level. Don't go, it's a scam. They charge 4 times higher prices and act like they are the only ones.

Today I visited elejungle . We hired two elephants for riding in 3000 rupees. We had to feed elephants here. We felt really good. We didn't have enough time to feed the elephants so we gave 2200 rupees to staff to feed the elephants. And then we came back. Then we went on our car our driver Suresh kumar sharma asked us what we had done there then we told him all activities we have done there and we have spent today 5200 rupees. Then driver asked us again and again that we have done there. We found little suspicious there. Then we reached the hotel and we were discussing about the behaviour of the driver, receptionist listened us. He told us that whatever we spent on elephants he got 50% of it. So i would like to tell you that this is all scam going on there on name of elephants servicing. They didn't even feed the elephants and they beat them. We have donated for the time we spent with elephants and for the service provided by staff which was quiet nice. Please i would like to tell you everyone do no visit over here. There is a big scam is going on.

Awesome experience getting to interact with these lovely bunch of elephants. Really cherish the cute bond that we developed over time with this elephant called ‘BIJLI’. She is very loving and gentle and she let us paint on her with organic colours. All the elephants were very friendly. The coordinators and the staff were equally friendly and accommodating. They helped us form a connection with the elephants. Do visit here for a memorable experience.

I read an article saying Tripadvisor have agreed with PETA to remove any listings which are with elephants especially elephant rides. How can I report this listing?

Hi
We had decided just to feed 2 Elephants with Bananas. We had a short introduction, and then we could feed them by our hands. It was just amazing.
Price was 1500 Rupees for 2 People.
Cheers
