Elephant Bath in Goa: Bonus tips

Being the very unique activity that it is, an elephant bath is unfortunately not for everyone. Although tours usually don’t deny entry to anyone. It’s not recommended that you undertake an elephant bath in Goa if you are older than 65. It’s also a good idea to leave children below the age of 10 out of this ordeal as they can be very unpredictable towards wild animals they’ve never seen before.

 

A tour during the summer or off season during the winter is highly recommended.
