Elephant Lodge

Visiting the Land of a Million Elephants without being in touch with these incredible animals would make your visit to Laos unfinished. The Elephant Lodge on the banks of the Nam Khan River is one of the secret attractions of Luang Prabang offering individual experiences and nature activities while supporting the Elephant Project and giving help to the local communities.

Come to be an active part of this wonderful natural place or just stay here and relax. This package includes soft activities for all, individuals, families and elephant fans.

Day 1: Start from town for a day of activities - Mountain biking - Elephant Tour

In the morning around 8.30-9.00 we take our bikes out of town to see some highlights along the way. Short village visits and the green surrounding of Luang Prabang are awaiting us.

Dinner in the Lodge.

Day 3: Take your time and Relax in the Morning or take a Short Walk to a Nearby Village 

We prepare our activities today with a short briefing. The kayaking tour is easy to handle during most of the months and offers some great sceneries and natural life along the river. Small rapids enrich the paddle trip which takes you back into the World Heritage town of Luang Prabang.
Depending on your schedule we provide you a transfer back to town. B, L.
