Pick-up from your accommodation between apx. 8:00am-8:30am

You will be greeted by members of the Karen hill tribe and given traditional clothing to wear.

You will be given fruit and vegetables to feed the elephants with.

After feeding the elephants you will take them for a walk through the forest.

You will then go for lunch where we provide you with a delicious buffet of freshly prepared home cooked food.

After lunch, take the elephants to indulge in a mud spa which is good for their skin and helps them to regulate their body temperature.

We will pick you up from the elephant park and drive you to meet your local hill tribe guide.

Your guide will take you on a scenic hike up hills, through rice fields and through the passionfruit orchard at the back of the camp.
