Karen Elephant Experience

This was one of, if not the highlight of my time in Thailand. An ethical elephant sanctuary where they are protected and taken care of by dedicated & caring staff. Lunch was supplied and my group were able to get up close with the elephants, feeding them buckets of bananas, washing them in a mud bath before rinsing them in the river. I'm usually a little less enthusiastic than most when it comes to animals, but even I was captivated by these gentle giants.

This was an amazing experience. We did the half-day morning option. Our guide was super friendly and educated about the elephants. Our trip was organized through elephant nature park so you know this place holds itself to the highest standards when it comes to caring for their elephants. This is a must do on your visit to Chiang Mai for the photos alone, once in a lifetime experience!

After my wedding day, this day spent with elephants was the best experience of my life. It was amazing to hang out with the elephants for a day. The guide was great and I am already wishing I could do it again.

Amazing experience! Very small group, not like in other elephants places (we were only our family) Feeding the elephants , wash them, very tasty lunch and in the end of day choosing if riding on the elephant or not, for us it was one of the best things to do in Chiang mai

Spent one of the best days of my life here. Book though Elephant Nature Park. If you are looking for an actual ethical sanctuary, you've found it.

This was an amazing experience to meet some elephants that have been rescued from a terrible experience and see how they are adjusting to a better life. The guides were great, and it was a beyond prefect experience.

A wonderful experience if you want to see elephants in Chiang Mai. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommended booking through the Elephant Nature park if you want to ensure that your are supporting an ethical business. We got to feed the elephants, walk in the forest with them and then watch them play in the mud and go in the river with them.

Had a awesome experience here!!! Run by the Elephant Nature Park, the elephants have been rescued from abusive situations. The youngest been 6 years old came from a circus. There now been looked after and seem to be really happy. A great place to support and contribute to the welfare of elephants.

Absolutely amazing! They take very good care of these elephants, and their ethical practices are evident when you see the guides with them. Bathing with them is the best part and a must in Chiangmai!

My kids loved this experience with the elephants. We were able to feed and bath the elephants
Karen"s provided a light snack and lunch (vegetarian only) and both were great. I would highly recommend this place.

Lovely experience to walk with the elephants in their 'natural' environment, feed them, give them a mud bath and river wash. Great project that is cruelty free and gives the villagers an income too

We went there through Elephant Natural Park. We were a group of 13 and it was such an incredible day! I highly recommend ! Only for respectful people and elephant lovers. The others stay away please !

A very special place and unique experience. The elephants are really happy and it's great to know how many have been rescued

Absolutely magical and unforgetable experience, they really care about the welfare of their elephants

Amazing!

Echt geweldig om samen in een groep van ongeveer 10 personen op stap te gaan met deze olifanten. Daarnaast ga je een heerlijke modderbad nemen en na een kleine wandeling lekker afspoelen in een stromende beek. Tussendoor een prima maaltijd.

Bellissima esperienza ! Tour di mezza giornata prenotata da elephant nature park ( come suggerito dalla lonely planet) più cpstosa delle altre proposte(2000bath x persona)Ma ci hanno garantito campo etico elefanti liberi recuperati da maltrattamenti ! La mia impressione è stata positiva.

Coś abstrakcyjnie niesamowitego!!!
Na początku dość długa podróż z Chiang Mai do górskiej wioski.
Na przywitanie się ze słoniami, karmienie z ręki. Później trekking ze słoniami. Co istotne, jeżeli opiekunowie widzą, że słonie nie mają ochoty na spacer, wtedy trekking jest anulowany. U nas przeszły zaledwie pół kilometra i zrezygnowały.
Następnie przepyszny, wegański lunch i krótka sjesta.
Po sjeście nadchodzi moment, który wszyscy uwielbiają, zarówno słonie jak i ludzie, czyli taplanie słoni w błocie, a później w strumyku.
Powrót do Chiang Mai pod wieczór. Dodatkowym plusem był fakt, że w wiosce jest tylko jedna grupa. W naszym przypadku to było 10 osób.
Nie żałuję ani grosza wydanego na tą atrakcję.

Una experiencia maravillosa, te conecta en lo más profundo con la naturaleza y te hace reflexionar sobre la importancia de que animales tan imponentes puedan vivir en paz y armonía. Mejor aún el guía y la gente. Simplemente indescriptible Saludos desde Chile!!

Un lugar increible, realmente una experiencia maravillosa, el cuidado a los elefantes es impresionante, realmente vale la pena visitarlo, no se arrepentirán
