TOUR DESCRIPTIONOn pick up at your Chiang Mai hotel we will head out of Chiang Mai towards the hills and mountains in the Mae Wang area. On arrival at Mae Wang we will need to swap transport to the 4 wheel vehicle for the ride on the rough road to the elephants home high up in the hills. Please be prepared for a bumpy ride as the elephants reside up in the hills and can only be reached by dirt track. You will spend 2 hours with the elephants taking care and bathing these animals in the local river. after our elephant activities you will be taken back down the mountain to our lunch venue where you will take a local lunch before embarking on a short trek to Mae Wang Waterfall. Swimming is possible here in the dry season when the flow is not so strong! (but not recommended in the wet season!). we will then continue a drive to a Karen hill tribe village where you can take a walk around the village and observe their lifestyles. Our final stop of the day will be at the rafting camp where you will board bamboo rafts for the ride down the Win River. |

Insurance
A limited amount of accident insurance is provided to cover some medical bills in case of an injury but it is advised that you have your own comprehensive accident insurance.
Elephant welfare
These elephants live up in the forested hills in the Mae Wang area and Blugecko believe
the elephant owners provide a good standard of elephant welfare but please note the following:
• A bull hook is used on occasions to ensure control and safety of both the elephant and client
• A limited amount of bareback riding is allowed - no riding apparatus or seats are used
Please be aware and understand the above
if you are uncomfortable with any use of the bull hook then please do not do not book this tour
if you have any further questions on the elephant welfare on this trip please ask us.
• Please be prepared for the occasional shower, luckily in Chiang Mai rainfall is mostly confined to short showers rather than prolonged rainfall. A lightweight easily packable raincoat is an ideal precaution
• You will get wet during the bamboo rafting and bathing with the elephants swim wear is recommended as you will be getting wet and muddy. If water conditions allow swimming at the waterfall is also possible.
