Pick up 08.00-08.30 // drop off 17.00

Following pickup from your hotel in Chiang Mai City, the drive to the elephant sanctuary is about 1.5 h. You will learn about the rescued Asian elephants and how to safely feed and interact with them: you will walk with them in their jungle habitat where you can observe their natural behaviours such as foraging for their favourite foods and scratching on trees; give them a mud bath and wash their skin.

Lunch is provided

13.30 depart to the Sticky Waterfalls

The Sticky (Bua Tong) Waterfall is a remarkable natural wonder. The natural porous composition of the Bua Tong limestone makes them incredibly “sticky” which enables visitors to climb up the waterfall without slipping. It’s a lot of fun. After, you can relax and explore the walkways to the “Fountain of seven colours” where you can learn about the legend and origin of its local name and that of the waterfall.

Drive back to your chosen hotel in Chiang Mai drop.
