Elephant Sanctuary, Chiang Mai
Day 1:
Start your adventure with a pickup from your accommodation in Chiang Mai. Drive south of Chiang Mai to the Mae Wang Valley for approximately 1.5-hours, passing through picturesque valleys, rice fields, and curving rivers. Admire the beauty of your surroundings before receiving a warm welcome upon arrival at Pol Elephant.
Learn about the history and traditional culture of elephants and mahouts. Listen to a briefing about Asian Elephants and the history of the sanctuary. Experience the simple nature of Chiang Mai Province amongst herds of adult and baby elephants.
Learn to communicate and take care of rescued elephants. Discover how to approach elephants safely, feed them, hug them, and bathe them in the Mae Wang River. Follow slow-walking elephants and observe them as they look for food in the lush forest.
Finish your elephant activities and receive your luggage. Depart from Pon Elephant Thailand and stop for a swim at Mae Wang Waterfall. Marvel at this beautiful waterfall in the forest before continuing on to the homestay.
Arrive at your homestay and explore the area. Visit another herd of elephants that live in the jungle village. In the evening, help your guides prepare a delicious dinner before eating it with your lovely host family. End your day with a comfortable sleep in a private room in the homestay.
Day 2:
Wake up at your homestay to fresh air and breathtaking views. Be immersed in nature and marvel at the elephants performing their “morning call” right in front of your bedroom. Enjoy this moment by taking photos, video, or simply watch in amazement.
Enjoy a delicious breakfast on the terrace surrounded by beautiful forests and breathtaking views before bidding farewell to the elephants and villagers.
Head out for an exciting time and admire the beautiful scenery along the Mae Wang River on a traditional bamboo raft for 40 to 50-minutes. Freshen up and change out of your clothes before returning to your accommodation in Chiang Mai.
