Elephants and Trekking

After a short ride out of town you and your local guide will arrive at the Elephant Park Project area for a day of activities. The Elephant Park Project is located next to the "Lao Spirit Resort" about 15 km out of town and in the middle of a wonderful mountainous surrounding.

Enjoy the new perspective and the amazing nature on this 1-1.5 hr. Elephant ride. A stunning landscape, quietness, and the lush nature gives you a relaxed ride on the back of the protected Elephant. You will make your way through small forests and along the Nam Khan river up to/from the amazing Tad Sae waterfalls. At the waterfall or the river you can hang out for some swimming and bathing in the refreshing cool water.

Lunch will be served either on the magnificent waterfalls or on the mountain view verande of the "Lao Spirit Resort".

The soft half day trekking (about 3-4 hrs.) will lead you out into a Khammu village where you get an insight in every day life and culture of this ethnic minority. The village is situated at the foot of a big mountain range. Most of the people here are farmers and fishermen and live from their traditional way of agriculture. They even speak a different language here and your guide will help to ask questions. This village Trek is part of the "Fair Trek" Project which supports seven villages in the area. It is a new cooperation between Authorities, the villages and the operating tour company.
