I've seen some negative comments about riding elephants that this kind of behavior can harm elephants. I'm not sure how this hurt the elephant. We bought food for the elephant along the way, and the trainer was very gentle to the elephant. So elephants are cared for and fed. If you've never ridden an elephant, you should add this to your life list.
