1. Walking the elephants to the forest
In wet season our elephants sleep and eat in the forest. Staying overnight will allow you to walk the elephants out into the forest at the end of the day with the mahouts and get up early the next day to bring them back in before the day’s activities begin. In dry season you can take a walk with the elephants in the morning.
2. Hiking to the top of a mountain
Follow one of the mahouts to the top of the mountain. Everybody can climb these mountains and enjoy the view and look to the other side. It is 100 Baht per person and this is a tip for our mahout that you can give to him by yourself.
