Influenced by the energy of two seas on her East and West, the peninsula of South India defies the waves of the Indian Ocean and is home to a culture that is over 10,000 years old. Here, even today, food is traditionally served on banana leaves in the Hindu temples that date back to the 11th century. South India boasts of 73 languages originating from one root called "Dravidian" and together with Elephant Ride welcomes you humbly with folded hands.

Elephant Ride would like your experience to be similar to that of someone visiting your home. Therefore, we have created a unique immersion program that will help you to connect with the local people and help you "view India from the eyes of an Indian."

Your Elephant Ride travel companion, called the Muhoot would be an Indian native with a vast knowledge about India and her history and culture; and yet with an extensive Hospitality experience in the US .

We take pride and specialize in understanding your personal needs, helping you communicate, and constantly maintaining your safety!
