Our Story

Founded with a vision to protect Nepal's elephants, Sapana Elephant Care grew from a small initiative into a dedicated sanctuary. Over the years, we have rescued elephants and provided them with a peaceful home where they can thrive.

Every elephant in our care has a unique story of resilience and hope. From those who have endured years of hardship to those rescued from dangerous situations, each one has found sanctuary with us.
