TOUR OVERVIEW

Enjoy two days interacting and getting up-close to elephants at the Elephant Nature Park outside Chiang Mai.

TOUR DESCRIPTION

The Elephant nature park does not adhere to a rigid itinerary for its two day programme but two days will give you plenty of time to get to know these lovely large animals a whole lot better! Over the 2 days at the park you will have a introduction about the elephants in the park and how elephants are used in the tourist industry in Thailand. At some e point you will be taking the elephants down to the river for their bath time (one of the elephants favorite parts of the day) . You will be able to take your time with the elephants and get to know them while spending the two days at the main Elephant Nature Park venue which is nestled by the river in the Mae tang area. You will of course be provided with all meals and simple but comfortable accommodation in wood and bamboo bungalows at the Nature Park.
