Description

Commence your action-packed half-day excursion in the morning or afternoon with a complimentary and convenient pickup service from your hotel room. Once you have boarded your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, take the short scenic drive to elephant sanctuary where your elephant experience begins. Upon arrival, you are warmly welcomed and dressed in traditional northern clothing. It’s time to meet the sanctuary’s stars and snacks as you watch a presentation about the Tree Tops project and the work that this organization does to protect elephants. Included in this presentation is a demonstration of very important safety rules that must be followed throughout your tour. Once your presentation has finished, it's time to set-off. During your tour, you will enjoy up-close encounters with these beautiful giants, and the opportunity to feed them. Stroll through the sanctuary observing and learning about elephants as they go about their day. Relax in the designated lookouts as the elephants graze and bathe nearby. Make sure your camera is fully charged as there are lots of fabulous photo opportunities and plenty of time to thoroughly enjoy this peaceful nature reserve. Take some time out to sit and relax in the Tree Tops lounge which offers stunning views of the sanctuary and forest if you wish to sit peacefully away from the tour. Not only will you spend time with the elephants, there is also time to enjoy the many different species of butterflies and wild birds, or even make friends with the resident cats and dogs. You will end your visit with a delicious vegetarian Thai buffet as the elephants graze and bathe in the distance. The adventure takes a delightful twist as we begin our hike along the enchanting Pha Dok Siew nature trail. Here, you'll immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of nature, spot rare wildlife, marvel at lush rice terraces, and even indulge in a rejuvenating dip at a tranquil waterfall. Our journey continues as we visit an organic Karen hill tribe coffee farm, adding a delightful and aromatic touch to your experience. As the day gently transitions into evening, it's time to bid farewell to the majestic Doi Inthanon mountain, leaving you with cherished memories of its grandeur. Reflect on the profound connections you've made, both with the elephants and the wonders of nature, as we embark on our return journey to Chiang Mai. This is a day filled with moments of awe and serenity that you'll carry with you for a lifetime.
