After a talk about the dos and don'ts and the work that the sanctuary does, guests are taken to the food shed to get baskets of melons, bananas, and bamboo sticks for feeding time. The elephants are friendly and tame, and they willingly take the food from the guests' hands. After feeding time, it's time for a mud bath for everyone, which the elephants thoroughly enjoy.
