We have received a Circular on 08th Oct;15 from the Director of Tourism, Govt. Of Rajasthan Jaipur.
"ELEPHANT RIDE AT AMBER HILL WILL BE CLOSED DUE TO NAVRATRA SHILA MATA TEMPLE RUSH FROM 12th to 23nd OCTOBER;15 (12 DAYS)
ALTERNATE RIDE SHALL BE ARRANGED AT ELEPHANT VILLAGE ( HATHI GAON ) ONLY."
Permission is NOT yet given For Nahargarh rescue forest area this year.
NOTE: THERE WILL BE ENOUGH JEEPS FOR HILL UP / DOWN ( Cost @ 450 per jeep - 4 to 5 pax )
Please note that the Elephant village is not very good for rides in comparison to Amber hill / Nahargarh forest area. No proper shadow, no proper place to stand. Although a good place for experience as at the village there are 60 - 70 elephants living together with the mahouts.
