Second, it depicts the true love of an emperor for his wife and thus is quoted as the Symbol of Love. Last, but not the least.

The white monument is built of pure marble and the atmosphere around it is sufficient to fill your heart from romance, tranquility and pure love.
Wildlife Sos
Now home to over 20 rescued Elephants, The Elephant Conservation and Elephant Care Centre is a final refuge to the Elephants which were rescued from extreme distress, while some were privately owned and had a cruel history of being used for begging, others spent a lifetime in captivity & confinement as temple elephants or were being coerced to perform in circuses. The Elephant Conservation and Care Centre and the Elephant Hospital is bordered with the river Yamuna, surrounded by farmland, and a 10 minute walk through a lush green field leads our elephants to the river where they enjoy taking long and relaxing dips!

Every rescued Elephant must deserve a place in this sanctuary, away from and kind of human captivity

5.00We included this wonderful elephant care Centre at the last moment in our itinerary. This was an unplanned trip, but I am glad that I went. We were planning to take a complete rest in Delhi after completing a Himalayan trekking tour. However, my wife wanted to see Taj Mahal too. we were surfing tours and stumbled upon this wonderful tour that combines the Taj Mahal and an ethical visit to the elephant care centre. After returning to Delhi from Agra by car, it is on the way with a little detour. I have never been to an elephant sanctuary; that said, this place was the highlight of my trip, spiritually and emotionally, topping the Taj Mahal surprisingly. They greet you at the centre and then first explain the reason for their existence, and a short video. We then went to the field to visit the free-moving elephants, as it was around 4 pm, some of them went for their daily walks. I learnt about the plight of these gentle giants and the many wonderful people who are doing something about it, which u can read about on their website. The place is very well run - all rescued elephants must be given an asylum in this sanctuary and they deserve to live free
Incredible Taj mahal and heartwarming Elephant conservation and care center

5.00Absolutely incredible experience! After celebrating our anniversary by visiting romantic Taj mahal, Visiting this elephant conservation and care center was truly heartwarming. The people here are some of the kindest, most dedicated individuals we’ve ever met, treating the elephants with such love and respect. It’s amazing to see a place where these gentle giants can live safely, free from harm, and receive the care they deserve. The team’s passion for elephant welfare is inspiring, and they go above and beyond to educate visitors about conservation efforts. Watching the elephants roam, play, and interact in a natural and peaceful environment was unforgettable. This place is a shining example of what the world needs more of—compassion, respect for nature, and a commitment to protecting these magnificent creatures. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to witness true conservation in action! And not to mention the amazing services of our travel agent "Discover Activities", its owner Mr Jai Singh was always available for us and meticulously panned our Taj mahal and then elephant rescue center visits in advance

5.00A must do destination near Taj mahal. I booked last minute to experience something real before joining a group tour next day. I am glad that i made the most of my free time a day before. Mr "Jai Singh " came to pick me up from my hotel in his car along with his drive. we had nice conversations while being driven to wards the Taj Mahal. It was a dream to do Taj mahal in my life at least once. After this we drove towards the Elephant care center. This center is totally human contact free for the elephants. It was a treat to see Elephants roaming free away from the human bondage in which they suffered their entire lifetime.

5.00Excellent and friendly service. On time pickup at your hotel. Everything is taken care of from gas, tolls, water, bathroom/food breaks, and exhibit tickets. Provider is very responsive via WhatsApp. Price was very reasonable. I initially planned to rent a car and drive myself but that would have been a terrible idea.

After visiting Taj mahal later do something for the rescued Elephants!

5.00After visiting Taj mahal later do something for the rescued Elephants! When you are done with the fulfillment of your dream of visiting Taj Mahal, do visit this kind rescue center for the elephants. Here the elephants rescued from the human captivity, spend their last phase of life in the lap of nature, after spending suffering for so long under captivity. The parks entrance ticket is actually a small donation for the elephants which is used to maintain the natural ponds, water bodies and the fodder for the gentle giants.
Great day out with Jai

What a way to go to Agra from Delhi

5.00The government has indeed spent a lot of money to build this corridor between Delhi and Agra. I totally loved the journey. The road is simply awesome. My driver was showing me the stretches of the highway where the IAF aircrafts touch down and take off. Felt amazing. Absolutely non tiring.
