Enjoy our jungle safaris at Sapana Lodge in Chitwan Nepal. No elephant riding here – its our mission to rescue elephants for a deserved retirement. Eco tourism with impact!

Elephants are called gentle giants; they are gracious, friendly and highly intelligent creatures. These animals are normally used for safaris mainly sitting four people on their sensitive backs in Chitwan National Park. But Sapana Village offers other elephant friendly activities like feeding them, elephant candy making, drawing or paiting on them, bathing them etc. These beautiful and massive creatures deserve love and care and we hope that many other lodges in Chitwan  follow our idea of supporting animals.
