Visitor Experience: Visitors can observe baby elephants being fed and playing in mud baths. The orphanage offers a daily public visit in the late morning, typically around 11 a.m.

Adoption Program: Visitors can “adopt” an elephant, which helps support their care and rehabilitation.

Educational Focus: The orphanage also educates the public about wildlife conservation, particularly focusing on elephant protection.
