We were picked up from our hotel by a tuk-tuk and driver across town, past Jaipur Fort where our elephant was waiting for us. Her name is Sempa and is a rescue from a circus. She is their oldest elephant and we spent 2 hours walking with her, feeding her, patting her, washing her, and just being around her. They do allow you to ride the elephants here, we chose not to do this. They also allow you to paint the elephants (why anyone would want to is beyond me) which we also opted to avoid. Instead, we just hung out with her. I'm not elephant whisperer, but she really seemed to enjoy it.

After our time with her, we were driven to the owner's home, where his mom made us absolutely delicious food. This is also where we paid for the day. I don't recall the price, but it was worth every penny. My only gripe with the whole experience was people around Jaipur asking us, constantly, if we saw elephants, where we saw them, and that we paid too much. Yes, Elefantastic is more pricey, but I'll gladly pay a premium to know that the elephants are treated well.
