Taj Mahal Tour - Elephant Rescue Centre at Agra

Elephant Rescue Centre Agra

India is very rich in culture and architecture. Different places have various styles of architecture. There are many places to visit in Agra India that were once known for the largest mammal"Elephant". 

The Elephants rolled freely on the wide-open plains of India and entire India was their playground. Last century particularly saw the demise of the domain of this huge mammal and today barely a few thousand Indian elephants are alive, Most of these elephants were employed openly till a few years ago by the Circus/hermits/private owners. These poor animals had a very tough time under the atrocities of these brutal owners/mahouts.      
    
A non-governmental organization called Wildlife SOS took up the initiative and an elephant rescue center to save those elephants who were illegally employed by various organizations. In these few years, the organization has freed 19 elephants from the various circus and other areas from across India and you can see these Elephants in Agra during the Taj Mahal Tour with Activities. Situated around 35 kms from Agra the Elephant Conservation and Care Center is on the National Highway no 2 at a village called "Churmura". 

The area of Elephant rescue center is around 150 acres, these elephants rescued by the organization live a blessed life, being fed by fresh fruits and fodder, you can be a part of their daily lifestyle as the tourist are welcome on this rescue center but a prior reservation for the same has to be done and a donation cum charge of 1500 Indian Rupees is levied for a half-day visit, a full day visit costs 3000 Rupees. On your arrival at the center, you will be greeted by the staff and they will give you a detailed explanation of the rescue efforts at the center, Usual life starts over here with a stroll in the morning for 2-3 hours, the pool in the center serves the elephants and they enjoy bathing here. In your Golden Triangle Tour Packages, you have an option to visit this famous rescue center while you come on Delhi Agra Jaipur Tour.

Off Beat Tourism in Agra - Delhi to Agra Taxi Service

Agra the city which was once the capital of the great Mughals has seen a lot of changes. The rising pressure of the population has taken its toll and today the heritage of the city is under tremendous pressure. As you enter the city, very near to the famous monument "Sikandra", situated on National Highway 2 you come across a small marriage home named "Paradise Mahal" but the thing to be noted here is that this marriage home conceals a beautiful heritage structure dating to the Mughal times and more so the structure has been reshaped, without a hint of the history and heritage involved. The city is fast disappearing into a fast mushrooming concrete jungle. We can provide you luxury services of Delhi to Agra Taxi Service to explore the Mughal and European buildings.

The huge and beautiful "Havelis" of the inner city are very fast being demolished and they are making way to modern shopping malls and residential complexes. Once upon a time, the city of Taj had various beautiful baghs(Gardens) the various places of the city still bear the names of these gardens but the gardens do not exist today"Bagh Muzaffar Khan, Khandari Bagh, etc".

We must act before it is too late and the authorities along with the general public must come up fast to conserve this heritage of ours otherwise the future generations will hold us responsible for destroying this legacy. This can also be done by promoting heritage tourism in the city.

We at S.A.M Tours and Travels are doing our bit and we are promoting the heritage tourism in the old city of Agra. We take the tourist to the Heritage parts of Agra and introduce them to the wonderful legacy of architecture, history, and culture (The walking tour of old Agra). This walking tour can be arranged in the Taj Mahal Tour or Overnight Taj Mahal Tour.

We also have very rich colonial history at Agra, The Agra cantonment has beautiful British era bungalows which were once the residential bungalows of the British army officers. On your visit to Agra, we can arrange a beautiful evening tryst of yours with these structures, we can arrange your dinner at one of these bungalows where you will meet an Indian family, you will be invited to a "sabji market" and you will buy the vegetables for the dinner, they will also let you be a part of the cooking process. If you do not have much time be a guest simply to enjoy tea at this beautiful bungalow. In your North India Tour Packages, you can pay a visit to all these famous buildings of the British era and explore the Gothic architecture.
