Experience a full day of hands-off elephant encounters with this unforgettable journey into the world of these majestic creatures. At the sanctuary, you'll observe elephants rescued from a life of performing. Learn about elephant behaviour, habits, and history while marvelling at their size and grace. Cut grass for the elephants to feed on, watch them relish their meal, and prepare a fruit salad for the older elephants.

Learn about the importance of proper nutrition and how it impacts their digestive health and well-being. Spend time learning about the authentic Karen culture and supporting the fair wages and protection of the mahouts who care for the elephants. Explore the interactive elephant museum, the Elephant Poo Paper Factory, and witness the elephants bathing in the river Kwai Noi. 

You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
