Join VWI as a volunteer and help care for elephants in Heritage City—Jaipur, India. Support the local community in taking care of these elephants and their mahouts. Volunteers will help mahouts, feeding and bathing the elephants. You need to wake early as the elephant starts early to give a ride to the tourists of Amber Fort. You will work around 3 to 4 hours per day, from 5 am to 9 am in summer and from 6 am to 10 am in winter. We have made working hours short as it has been discovered that 4 hours of working in the Elephant Village are already a hard day's work for volunteers. But if you would like to work more, you can join the afternoon and evening shifts.

memorable trip in India with VWI
by: Yingli Yang - United StatesProgram: Elephant Volunteer Work & Animal Conservation in IndiaWe just had a memorable trip in India with VWI. Sukret is very responsive before and during the trip, which is extremely helpful. We didn't pick the best season to visit India, so it's pretty hot. But we didn't get any time spent in Inda wasted. The guides, drivers and the mahout for our giant girl 'Champa' are all very good. We spent decent time with the elephant and also did some sightseeing. Will make another trip during Nov. to Mar when the weather is better.
Thank you Yingli for the review.
Elephant program in Jaipur
by: Juliet Awang - United KingdomProgram: Elephant Volunteer Work & Animal Conservation in IndiaWorking with elephants has always been a dream of mine, something I could never do in the UK. This opportunity has been very special for me. I am a solo female traveler, that means I need to ensure my safety. Sukrets contact with me from the very beginning was really helpful and put my mind at ease. Everyone has been really helpful to me and helped me to have an amazing experience in Jaipur.
