3. SU4E - Elephant Happy Hour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 157 reviews
The Elephant Happy Hour is an activity that we organize here in Sauraha as an ethical alternative to the riding. At the moment, there aren’t many options for elephant tourism besides riding. We give a working elephant the chance to do what she wants for an hour instead. We start with an info/safety session, followed by a short jeep ride to where the elephants work. After a short introduction (with fruits!) we stand back, observe and let her be an elephant. This activity is run by StandUp4Elephants (SU4E). We are an NGO based in Belgium but working full time in Nepal. We are 100% non-profit, all proceeds above the cost of renting the elephants' time go directly back into improving their lives. Space is limited, RESERVATION REQUIRED in advance. (WE DO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC OFFICE)

The Chitwan National Park offers a variety of flora and fauna. Do not miss the jeep safari and especially the elephant safari. We were lucky to see a few rhinos, Gharial crocodiles, peacock, wild bore, spotted deer, buck deer, and lots of amazing colourful birds. The elephant safari was a memory to be cherished for the rest of your life. It's adventurous and thrilling. The elephant bathing was a fun too. You are allowed to go round the buffer zone of the forest only.

Pop in and introduce yourself to Ram Krishna, watercolour & acrylic artist & gallery owner. A very warm welcome, excellent English speaker, lovely family, wide variety of painted topics... walked away with an elephant watercolour for way too cheap. Ram aims to complete 1 painting per day and often sits outside the gallery painting for all to see. Well worth a visit and making a friend.

Very interesting place where you can find more about the Tharu community's history and culture. Daily objects, paintings and explanations are exhibited along with photos. This complete work gives a very rich knowledge about the Tharus. The museum is not only a place where things are showed, it is also a research center where researchers of the whole world come to give their contributions and learn more. It is thus involved in the life of the community and the preservation of its culture. 2 big assets : the persons who work at the museum are very friendly, and for those who want to dig the topic, articles are available :).

While in Chitwan, we were invited by Mr. Arjun, the Manager of Chitwan Tiger Camp, in the evening for a Tharu Cultural Program. It was a wonderful experience. You could see the Tharu lifestyle through this cultural program. Next morning, while on our way to the jungle safari, we crossed the Tharu Village and our guide gave us a glipse of the Tharu village along with their lifestyle. Very nice.

9. Elephant Breeding Centre

Reviewed By itchandscratch
The breeding center seems to have a very well rounded approach to the elephants. Visiting is limited to several hours in the morning and the afternoon, before and after which the elephants are free in the jungle with their handlers. The handlers seem dedicated and humane and many live on-site with the elephants. The elephant breeding center is also the first place I have seen female mahouts. The elephants are part of a larger program which supports the entire economic ecosystem around Chitwan. Opinions about elephant captivity need to be tempered with the alternative, which is to place Chitwan in competition with the communities around the park. To parade in with a short-sighted, Western lens and start dictating to the people, who have lived and worked with the elephants for centuries, how to manage the delicate balance between Chitwan, its wildlife and the surrounding villages that it supports, is a special kind of selfish. In short, it's a humane program, the elephants are well cared for, and sabotaging wildlife tourism at Chitwan puts all of Chitwan and the communities it supports at great risk.
