Starting this two day tour, you will be picked up from your hotel at approximately 7:30 – 8:00am by either car or minivan (both new with AC). You will start the day with a splash by heading to the biggest and most beautiful waterfalls, Wachiratan and Mae Ya, in the lush Doi Inthanon park. Mae Ya waterfall is considered the most beautiful waterfall in the whole of Doi Inthanon National Park. After, you will trek 1.30 hour through the peaceful jungle, passing by the stunning Pha Dok Siew waterfall, from a Karen Hill tribe village to Rak Jung waterfall. There we’ll enjoy a delicious picnic for lunch.

After lunch, we’ll drive to Phra Mahathat Chedi Nophamethanidol and Phra Mahathat Noppholbhumisiri, and then visit the hill tribe local market to buy fresh and local ingredients to cook at night, which will be cooked at a jungle camp, where you will spend the night immersed in nature.

On the second day, breakfast will be provided and then you will be driven to the elephant park, where you will be greeted by local Karen hill tribe guides, who will provide you with traditional hill tribe clothing, and also some fruit and vegetables to feed the elephants. You’ll be able to get up close to our elephants in the forest and feed them sugarcane and fresh greenery.

For lunch, you’ll be able to enjoy a buffet of home cooked food as you take in the views of the elephant sanctuary.

After lunch you will have the opportunity to take the elephants to indulge in a mud spa, which is good for their skin and helps them to regulate their body temperature.

You will then be dropped off back at your accommodation at approximately 5:30pm.

Throughout the whole tour we will be taking many photos with a professional camera, which will be shared for free, so that you can fully focus on enjoying your time with the elephants.
