We would appreciate all visitors understand that we are not focus on demonstration, riding and circus things with our old aged and retired timber elephants. GHV stand for elephant care with responsible programs.

Temperature in the summer time is very hot and we do not let our elephants be in the heat for washing in the river, as it is a part of our elephant activities with clients. (11:00 to 15:00 is not the time for elephant washing in summer).

Depends on the late arrivals, clients are requested to wait at the main camp or spend the time at elephant village by joining us to feed and care with our daily schedule. (OR) clients are requested to arrive around 9:00 to 10:00 am for early elephant activities.

However we are trying to be flexible with both side of elephants and visitors.
