A normal view on a regular elephant walk in Chitwan.

A mother elephant and her baby quietly enjoying a bath. Our elephants calmly bathing in the river. And then, out of nowhere, a wild rhino comes running through the water.

No drama. No performance. No staged encounter.

Just elephants being calm, social and peaceful, while another wild animal moves through its natural surroundings.

This is how elephants and other wildlife behave in the wild ;quietly, naturally, and on their own terms.

These are the moments we hope people experience: not wildlife performing for us, but wildlife simply being wildlife.

Baby Shuvalaxmi was seen chasing a dog away from the camp today. While it looks funny, this is also a natural example of elephants becoming aware of and responding to animals entering their space.

Young elephants learn boundaries by observing and interacting with their surroundings and sometimes, that means confidently telling an unexpected visitor, “This is not your camp.”

For us at Elephant Care Nepal, moments like this are a reminder that elephants are not simply animals to be cared for; they are individuals with their own personalities, curiosity, instincts, and boundaries.

Just letting them be elephants.

When you’re too big to stand and drink milk from Mom… you simply sit down.
At this age, standing upright while nursing is getting a little difficult. So after her bath in the river, she sat down beside Mom for her milk.

The only problem? After a full belly and a relaxing bath, getting back up was a whole different challenge.

Baby tried to figure out how those four legs were supposed to work again.

Growing up is hard when you’re an elephant.

This is what our Elephant Bath Program looks like.

No forcing. No riding. No commands for entertainment.

Just giving elephants the freedom to enjoy the water in their own way, while we observe from a respectful distance.

Sometimes, the most meaningful way to connect with elephants is simply to let them be elephants. 🤍

Choose Happy Hour with Rupakali. Give her time to simply be an elephant.

One of our wonderful supporters recently chose a 4-hour Happy Hour with Rupakali (2 Happy Hour with Rupakali program), giving her something incredibly valuable: time away from riding and without a saddle.

For those four hours, Rupakali could simply enjoy her day

• Roaming around at her own pace
• Eating her favourite fruits and vegetables
• Enjoying time by the river
• Resting, moving, and experiencing the simple things elephants enjoy

Rupakali is a gentle elephant who has spent years carrying people. We believe that while we work toward a future where elephants no longer have to give rides, we can still create better moments for them today.

Choosing Happy Hour with Rupakali helps give her a few hours where she isn’t carrying a saddle or a passenger—just enjoying being herself.

You can choose Happy Hour too.
Your booking can turn a few hours of an elephant’s working day into hours of comfort, freedom, happiness, and dignity.

Choose Happy Hour. Give Rupakali time to just be an elephant.

🇳🇵 NEPAL IS NOT CLOSED.

While parts of Nepal have been affected by the recent floods, the entire country is not affected. Many destinations remain safe, open, and ready to welcome visitors—including us here at Elephant Care Nepal. 🐘

Tourism is an important part of Nepal’s recovery. When you visit Nepal, you are not just travelling—you are supporting local families, communities, businesses, and conservation efforts.

And for elephants like ours, your visit matters too. 🐘❤️

So, if Nepal is on your heart, don’t cancel your plans because of headlines alone. Check the situation of the specific place you are visiting and come when it is safe to do so.

🌿 Come for Nepal.
🐘 Come for the elephants.
🤝 Come to support the communities that need it.

Nepal is open. Nepal needs you. 🇳🇵

बाढीको पानी घट्दै जाला, तर संकट अझै सकिएको छैन।

बाढी आएको आज दुई दिन मात्रै भएको छ।
हामीले गुमाएका अमूल्य जीवनहरू, आफ्नो परिवार गुमाएका मानिसहरूको पीडा, बेपत्ता भएका आफन्तहरूको चिन्ता र घर–सम्पत्तिमा भएको विनाश यी सबैको घाउ अझै ताजा छ।
हामीले कसैलाई बिर्सेका छैनौँ, र यति छिट्टै सबै ठीक भयो भनेर अगाडि बढ्ने समय पनि होइन।

तर यही बीचमा एउटा अर्को महत्वपूर्ण कुरा पनि हामीले बिर्सनु हुँदैन।

बाढीपछि अर्को स्वास्थ्य संकट आउन सक्छ।

दूषित पानी, ढल मिसिएको पानी, फोहोर, मरेका जनावर, क्षतिग्रस्त खानेपानीका स्रोत र ठाउँ–ठाउँमा जमेको पानीका कारण झाडापखाला, डिसेन्ट्री, हैजा, टाइफाइड, लेप्टोस्पाइरोसिस, डेंगु, मलेरिया तथा अन्य संक्रमणको जोखिम बढ्न सक्छ।

विशेषगरी राहत शिविरमा बसिरहेका, सफा पानीको पहुँच गुमाएका र बाढीको पानीसँग प्रत्यक्ष सम्पर्कमा आएका मानिसहरू अझ बढी जोखिममा हुन सक्छन्।

त्यसैले अहिले नै केही सामान्य तर अत्यन्त महत्वपूर्ण सावधानी अपनाऔँ:

• सफा र सुरक्षित पानी मात्र पिऔँ। शंका लागे पानी उमालेर वा उचित तरिकाले प्रशोधन गरेर मात्र प्रयोग गरौँ।
• बाढीको पानीले छोएको खाना नखाऔँ।
• साबुनपानीले नियमित हात धुने गरौँ।
• जमेको पानी हटाऔँ र लामखुट्टेको टोकाइबाट बचौँ।
• बाढीको पानीले छोएका घाउ सफा र ढाकेर राखौँ।
• लगातार झाडापखाला, उच्च ज्वरो, रगत मिसिएको दिसा, अत्यधिक कमजोरी वा असामान्य शरीर दुखाइ भए तुरुन्त स्वास्थ्य संस्थामा जाऔँ।

हामीले अहिले केवल बाढीबाट बाँच्ने मात्र होइन, बाढीपछिको सम्भावित संकटबाट पनि मानिसहरूलाई जोगाउने समय हो।

जनचेतना रोक्ने बेला होइन।
राहत रोक्ने बेला होइन।
एकअर्काको साथ छोड्ने बेला होइन।

यो लेख्दैमा हामीले बाढीमा गुमाएका मानिसहरूलाई बिर्सेका छैनौँ।
बाढी आएको दुई दिन मात्रै भएको छ। हरेक मृत्यु, हरेक बेपत्ता व्यक्ति, हरेक आँसु र हरेक परिवारले भोगिरहेको क्षति अझै हाम्रो मनमा ताजा छ।

हामी पीडा बिर्सेर अगाडि बढ्न खोजिरहेका होइनौँ।
बरु, अझै धेरै परिवारले यस्तो पीडा भोग्न नपरोस् भनेर आजैदेखि सचेत हुन खोजिरहेका हौँ।

नेपाललाई अहिले सहानुभूति मात्र होइन सतर्कता, सहयोग र निरन्तर साथ चाहिएको छ।

Thank you, from Nepal. 🇳🇵

To everyone who has reached out, checked on us, asked about our families and our beautiful elephants, and stood beside Nepal during these heartbreaking days — thank you.

We have been especially touched to see so many of our Elephant Care Nepal friends from around the world donating to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund, helping people and communities affected by this disaster. Your support, kindness and solidarity mean more to us than we can express.

Many of you have been worried about us, our families and our elephants. Thankfully, Sauraha was not severely affected by the floods, and we are all safe and sound.

Sadly, some elephants were swept away by the floods from Nepal into India. We are grateful that they have now been rescued and are receiving care from organisations in India working for their safety and wellbeing.

Today, we wanted to share this peaceful moment of a mother and her baby enjoying the river. After such devastating days, seeing them safe together reminds us of the strength and beauty that still surrounds us.

From all of us at Elephant Care Nepal thank you for caring for Nepal, for caring for our elephants, and for helping wherever you can, from wherever you are.

Your kindness reminds us that even in the darkest moments, we are not alone.
