Now home to over 20 rescued Elephants, The Elephant Conservation and Elephant Care Centre is a final refuge to the Elephants which were rescued from extreme distress, while some were privately owned and had a cruel history of being used for begging, others spent a lifetime in captivity & confinement as temple elephants or were being coerced to perform in circuses.
The Elephant Conservation and Care Centre and the Elephant Hospital is bordered with the river Yamuna, surrounded by farmland, and a 10 minute walk through a lush green field leads our elephants to the river where they enjoy taking long and relaxing dips!
