2-Day Tour
2-Day Elephant & Jungle Trek Tour
On Day One you will meet our elephants in our protected forest. Feeding and washing these beautiful creatures is an unforgettable experience.
Day One finishes with dinner and social time at the Jungle Lodge. Your guide will cook a traditional meal, you can enjoy some rice wine and you will sleep in comfortable hammocks, complete with mosquito nets and blankets.
Day two is pancakes for breakfast followed by a guided trek to visit 3 waterfalls and a cave. You will also see small hill tribe farms that have been cut into the jungle where they practice subsistence farming. Sadly you will also see recent logging and burnt forests close to our sanctuary. The tour ends at the hill tribe village of Putang, the home to our guides.
