TOUR DESCRIPTIONThis special elephant experience is brought to you by The Elephant Nature Park. The Elephant Nature Park has expanded its operations to persuade local hill tribe elephant owners to take their elephants out of service from the elephant riding (usually contacted by trekking and tour operators in Chiang Mai) and use the animals for more meaningful and elephant friendly activities. This experience takes place in the hills in the Mae Wang area near the Karen mahout's village. This is a great small group experience with well cared for elephants in a unique and beautiful setting. The day starts with pick up at your Chiang Mai hotel and you will be transported to the Mae Wang area. Please be ready for a bumpy ride as you will need to drive high into the hills on a dirt track to reach the village where the elephants live. On arrival you will have an introduction and the behavior and history of elephants in the north of Thailand as well as some information on elephants working in the tourism business and practices which are detrimental to the elephants health. Following the intro you will change into traditional Karen clothing and meet the elephants. One of the first task for the day will be to feed the elephants. These large animals consume a LOT of food. It will then be your turn to eat and you will be served with a tasty lunch. in the afternoon it will be time to spend time with the elephants and you will walk with them in the forest while they naturally forage for food you will get the chance to take them to their favorite mud pit where they love to get wet and dirty in the gooey mud. the mud pit will be followed by a trip to the river for the elephants bath time. The programme will end when we transport you back to Chiang Mai |
