Elephants Trekking and Connecting

Spend half a day interacting with the elephants on this non-riding elephant experience.

In the morning we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to the nearby village of Ban Xieng Lom. Over a coffee or tea your guide will tell you about elephant behavior and how to interact with them.

Then cross the Nam Khan River to meet the elephants in person. Feed them some special treats before taking them to the river for one of their favourite treats – bathtime! Join the elephants in the water and learn the correct way to clean them.

After some watery fun set off on a 2-hour trek with your new friends through the countryside. Walking alongside, rather than riding, is a much better way to bond with, and understand these gentle giants. At Huay Nok stream spend some time wading through the cool water of the stream. Walk back to Mandalao and then say goodbye to the elephants.

In the restaurant enjoy a traditional Lao lunch made from organically grown produce while admiring the views over the river and misty mountains.

Return to Luang Prabang.
