Your journey begins when we pick you up from your accommodation. As you traverse scenic landscapes, including picturesque agricultural areas, hills, and forests, you'll embark on a 1.3-hour drive to reach the sanctuary. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed by your knowledgeable English-speaking guide, who will introduce you to the elephants and assist you in donning traditional Karen clothing.

Armed with bananas and sugar cane, you'll stroll with your guide through the sanctuary, where you'll encounter free-roaming elephants and listen to their unique stories. Feel free to touch, feed, photograph, and interact with these magnificent creatures while learning about their lifestyles and behaviors. After acquainting yourself with all the elephants, you'll join them for a mud spa experience nearby, getting down and dirty as you apply a nourishing mud treatment to their skin.

Following this delightful mud encounter, you'll walk with the elephants to a nearby river, where you can join them for a refreshing bath. Dive in, help bathe and brush the elephants as they revel in the water, creating cherished memories.

Once the elephants are sparkling clean, you'll have the chance for some final snapshots with your newfound friends before changing into dry clothes. Conclude your day with some snacks and fresh seasonal fruit, and then embark on a journey back to Chiang Mai, once again savoring the stunning rural vistas that surround you.
