Come and see elephants in the most ethical way - in their natural habitat. Immerse yourself in hill-tribe culture by staying and cooking in a traditional hill-tribe homestay and learning the basic skills that have been passed down through their generation such as basket weaving and bamboo cup making. Hike through the jungle to find the elephants and spend the day with them. Eat lunch with our elephants in the forest and then return to Chiang Mai in the afternoon.
