Working with Elephants, Jaipur India

Had an amazing 4 weeks stay in Jaipur, helping to look after Elephants in the Elephant Village.

The host family I stayed with was so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. The same goes for the friendship of both my driver and my guide. They made my stay something special to remember.

Mr Sukret helped me so much, especially when I picked up an infection and also when I lost my bank card. I couldn't have been better looked after.

Working with the Mahouts in various stable was a pleasure. They're truly dedicated to the welfare of these beautiful creatures. The work with them included preparing food and feeding the Elephants as well as cleaning the stables and regularly washing and bathing them in the lake. Sometimes it was hard work, but I was more than happy to do anything to help with all aspects of their welfare.

All in all, an amazing and worthwhile experience, which I will be happy to do again in the future.
