Hug Elephant Sanctuary – Full Day Experience
Spend a full day with elephants surrounded by the beautiful natural landscapes of Chiang Mai.
Travel south of Chiang Mai through rolling hills, forests, and local farming areas to Hug Elephant Sanctuary. Upon arrival, meet your local guide and learn about the behaviour and history of elephants before spending time with them in their natural home.
Feed and interact with the elephants before trekking with them along an elephant trail to a hilltop, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding scenery and take memorable photos. Return to the camp and enjoy a delicious Thai meal with fresh fruit.
Continue the experience with a walk to the river for a mud bath with the elephants, followed by a visit to the waterfall where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. After changing into dry clothes, depart the sanctuary and return to your accommodation in Chiang Mai.
