On this daytour you will meet Mosha, the elephant that stepped on a landmine and received the world’s first elephant prosthetic. We will visit the hospital of the Friends of the Asian Elephant which has been her home since then. After this we will visit the Thai Elephant Conservation Center where we will visit the hospital, the elephant baby nursery and the elephant dung paper factory. You will also visit Bang Chang Nak, a museum that exhibits wooden elephants before you participate in a two hour workshop at the Elephant Parade House in Chiang Mai.
This hugely entertaining program sees you cycling through a beautiful botanic garden, admire orchids and exotic palms, float on a lake in a paddleboat and, finally, fly from tree to tree like a monkey along ziplines in the forests of Chiang Mai.
Mae Kampong is a beautiful mountain village, only about an hour’s drive from Chiang Mai. The village is located at around 1300 metres altitude so temperatures are pleasant year round. A sparkling stream runs through the village.
The village is set in the midst of a largely untouched forest and is the base of Flight of the Gibbon, the first zipline in Chiang Mai province.
