Smiling Tusker Elephant Camp
Owing our place to the eco-friendly mindset from the days of the past, we wished to create a little fun corner for the guests that also serves our purpose of rehabilitation of unemployed elephants along with community based eco-tourism.
The typical Assamese Asiatic elephants are finally rejoicing their service. With this mentality during inception, we decided to expand and make it a little more about you but with ecotourism in mind. Smiling Tusker Elephant Camp is established as a unique adventure and natural ride as an ode to reconnect and recharge with environment. The classic camping concept and a locally dominated atmosphere of staycations is what makes us stand out as an ideal getaway. Outlined by the stunning views of tea estates, lush greenery, and the very famous Manas National Park, our camping shelter itself is a tourist spot and we are all about nature. Be it late night bonfires or early morning peafowl chitters; the overwhelming state of mind is constant while your stay with us.
Our Mission
The camp was established by a group of like-minded people, in order to generate funds to support this activity and is located just beside the core area of Manas Tiger Reserve, bordered by lush tea gardens, tiny water bodies and neighbouring villages. An ideal setting in the midst of endearing rusticity.
