When traveling through the jungles of Chiang Mai, a visit to an elephant sanctuary is likely the crown jewel of any itinerary. Connecting with these intelligent creatures offers a heartwarming experience, one that often becomes the most meaningful part of your trip.
Our elephant care half-day program provides the perfect setting. In our close-knit Karen community, we adore our elephants and treat them as part of our family. This care and compassion is felt deeply throughout the sanctuary, and we invite you to become part of it by joining either our morning or afternoon program.
What You’ll Do in This Exclusive Elephant Experience
Seeing an enormous elephant roaming freely, enjoying nature’s beauty, is a moving experience. During our ethical elephant tour in Chiang Mai, you can look forward to many of these encounters, always moving at a pace that keeps our elephants happy and comfortable.
You’ll be able to walk through the rugged terrain alongside our elephants, seeing Northern Chiang Mai through their eyes. Afterward, you can share a playful mud bath with them – a necessary part of their skincare routine, as well as a much-needed way for them to cool down.
The adventure continues as you learn to craft traditional herbal medicines and mineral licks. This is a rare opportunity to learn the ancient healing wisdom passed down through our Karen ancestors.
After a rewarding morning or afternoon of feeding, bathing, and experiencing the world with our elephants, you’ll end the day with a steaming bowl of Khao Soi, our famous Northern Thai coconut curry noodles.
Morning or Afternoon: Which Session Fits Your Trip
Our elephant sanctuary morning program starts early, with pick-up times from 7:30 to 8:00 am. If you appreciate mornings and want to avoid the midday heat, this is the perfect option. At this hour, the air is crisp, the birds are chirping, and our elephants are just beginning their day in the peaceful jungle.
Alternatively, our afternoon program is ideal for those who prefer a slow start to their day, with pick up times from 11:30 to 12:00 pm. Now, the tropical light filters beautifully through the trees, while our elephants enjoy their afternoon routine.
Our elephant care half-day program spans 6 hours, and you’ll return with a deep understanding of how our elephants live, a collection of meaningful pictures, and a lasting bond with your new friends.
