Enjoy our half-day morning tour and spend quality time with our majestic friends. This tour is perfect if you don’t want too much hiking or wish not to spend the entire day. Our day starts with an optional pickup in Chiang Mai City between 8 AM and 8:30 AM. Upon arriving at the camp, we will begin by preparing the elephant’s feast and feeding them. Then, it’s off to an elephant hike in the jungle with our majestic friends. When done, we will return to the camp, clean up, and have lunch as you sit and watch the elephants. After lunch, we will head back to Chiang Mai. You will arrive in Chaing Mai around 2:00 PM – 2:30 PM.
It’s one thing: visiting the zoo and watching the elephants. It is an entirely different experience feeding and interacting with these gentle giants. They say once an elephant meets you, it will never forget you. Brilliant is one way to describe these majestic creatures. Everything about them is impressive, each with its personality. If you’re lucky, you may be on the receiving end of a big kiss. Enjoy this time. It’s truly a wonderful experience. Join us for lunch while spending time with the elephants. Mom from the Plern Home will prepare a truly authentic Thai dish for your lunchtime meal.
