Elephants & Rafting

Home > Adventure tours > Trekking in Chiang Mai > Elephants & Rafting

This is a short 2-day tour which incorporates all the elements of an adventurous trek. An ideal tour for those with limited time but still want to experience a jungle trek. No particular physical condition is required, just a good sense for adventure. This tour is suitable for non energetic visitors who desire a “taste” for adventure. For these walks one doesn’t necessarily have to be in a good shape and therefore suitable to (almost) everybody.

Day 1.
The tour starts with a visit to an elephant-training camp in the beautiful area of Chiang Dao, where you can witness how these enormous creatures are taught to labor in the jungle. From here we go to the cave of Chiang Dao, with its beautiful white marble statues from Burma. After lunch we continue by pick-up truck through light jungle to an Akha and Lisu village. The terrain here is mountainous and offers a magnificent view. From here we walk to a Palong village where you and spend the night. Dinner is cooked by the guide.

Day 2.
After breakfast a short walk and an elephant ride of approximately 1 hour. After the elephant ride we stop at a camp where bamboo-rafts are made. After lunch we will continue the trek on rafts. You can take the rudder and navigate yourself down the river. On the way back to Chiang Mai we visit a small morning market. We also visit an orchid- nursery where you can admire some 200 different species (depending on the season) of these beautiful flowers.
