No riding, no harm - just care, protection, and freedom
Sapana Village Lodge is committed to ethical elephant care, prioritizing the wellbeing and dignity of rescued elephants. Our approach is simple: no riding, no exploitation, only love and protection in their natural environment.
Our rescued elephants live chain-free, roaming vast grassland areas with complete freedom. They enjoy daily baths in the pristine Rapti River and receive nutritious meals including fresh fruits, vegetables, molasses, gram, and tree bran for optimal health and happiness.
Every elephant under our care is protected and cherished. Sapana Village Lodge proudly supports their rescue, rehabilitation, and lifelong care, ensuring these magnificent beings live with the respect and freedom they deserve.
