Full Day Elephant Sanctuary Mahout Experience
Our sanctuary encompasses an entire mountainside. This is as close as possible to seeing elephants in the wild in a sanctuary. It is a non-commercial experience. We have two missions: one is to care for and protect the elephants and to ensure our guests have an educational and entertaining experience. Our guest services can be summed up in one sentence: It's All About You.
Elephant Retreat Sanctuary is located in the northern mountains of Chiang Mai. Take a journey into what many call the Jurassic Park of Thailand.- From enjoying an authentic Thai lunch amidst elephants to watching the Mahouts bathing with them and capturing these moments in free downloadable photos, it’s a day packed with unforgettable experiences.
