Itinerary

Day 1:

Travel from Luang Prabang by minivan – Boat trip – Walk Through the Forest – Laotian Lunch – Nursery Visit – Hospital Visit – Observe Elephants
Bathing – Encounter Elephants & Mahouts – Dinner.
Upon arrival at Nam Tien Lake, we will transfer you to the Center by boat. You will have time to settle into your accommodation before your guide takes you to the forest. Along the way, you will walk past the different enclosures where our main activities take place. After enjoying a family-style traditional Laotian lunch on a lakeside platform, you will observe bath time at the nursery, an area in the forest reserved for our youngest (and cutest!) elephants and their mothers. When the elephants have drunk enough and returned.

Day 2:

Breakfast – Meet the Elephants in the Forest – Observe Elephants Bathing – Socialization Area Observation – Lunch.
On the second day, you will meet up with the elephants in the forest. After spending the night in the jungle, it is time for another bath. Enjoy strolling together with these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
Watch them walk, forage, scratch, and socialize. If you’re lucky, you’ll hear them trumpet with excitement!
What are they saying? After bath time, it’s on to the Socialization Area. This is an area where our elephants can freely interact during much of the day.

Day 3:

Breakfast – Male Elephants Socialization Area - Information Center – Lunch.
After breakfast, you will visit the Male Elephants Socialization Area. This is an activity that can only be experienced at the ECC. Male elephants, ranging from massive tuskers to juveniles, form a group of bachelors, just as they would in the wild. Their majesty and power will take your breath away as you observe them quietly and safely from a raised wooden platform. Follow our guide around the perimeter to learn more.
