Elephant Orphanage

The Elephant orphanage is home to many young elephants that are lost or abandoned by their mothers. Here the elephants are fed, nursed and taken care of by the elephant handlers. This project is a rare opportunity for volunteers who are interested in working with elephants. The giant but innocent animals' sanctuaries are located near lush green forests and idyllic sceneries.

As a volunteer, you will bathe the elephants in the river, clean out and maintain their enclosures, and feed the baby elephants all with the help of the director of the elephant handlers (who are known as Mahouts).
