Hatigaon in Jaipur
Hathi Gaon, also known as Elephant Village, is 4 km away from Amber Fort. The area covered by Hathi Gaon in Jaipur is 30.5 hectares. The Rajasthan Forest Department, Jaipur Development Authority, and Rajasthan Tourism collaborated to build this. About 100 elephants are kept in the village by the mahouts and their families. The elephant shelters known as "Thaans," or Haathi Thaans, have reportedly been built in accordance with the guidelines established by the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change.
The primary goal of Jaipur Hathi Gaon is to protect the welfare of the elephants housed within it. The elephants have appropriate food, water, shelter and veterinary treatment. They also have access to a huge space where they can freely roam and interact with one another like in their natural habitat.
The mahouts at Hathi Gaon are very well trained in elephant care and management. They are also incharge of ensuring the safety of the elephants and the guests. Elephant Village promotes ethical tourism and welfare.
