Elephant conservation camp - Long day
Elephant conservation camp - Long day 1 day
Experience an exceptional day with us, far from large tourist structures. Our small camp, nestled on the edge of the jungle in the Baan Tung La Korn area, 60 kilometers north of Chiang Mai, is home to fewer than ten pachyderms, creating an intimate and respectful experience. Bathe with them, learn to guide them by voice, take part in their care and in preparing their meals. An idyllic day, designed for both adults and children, spent in respect and love for these extraordinary Asian elephants.
