    Local Market and Sanctuary Immersion

    08:00

    After being picked up from your hotel in Chiang Mai at 8:00 AM, you'll make a first stop at the Mae Wang market to soak up the local atmosphere. You will then spend most of the day at the Elephant Village Sanctuary. This is a day of true connection. Roll up your sleeves to help prepare their nutritional feast of fruit and sugarcane. Feel the gentle tickle of their trunks as you feed them by hand. Walk beside them through the forest, at their pace, observing them in their natural habitat. The highlight? A joyful, splash-filled bath in the river—a moment of raw, unforgettable connection with these majestic creatures.

    12:00

    Un déjeuner local vous sera servi directement au sanctuaire, dans un cadre naturel et paisible.

    14:00

    Après avoir profité pleinement de votre temps avec les éléphants, l'aventure se poursuit sur l'eau avec une descente apaisante de la rivière en radeau de bambou. Laissez-vous porter par le courant, admirez la jungle luxuriante qui défile sous vos yeux et écoutez les sons de la nature. Une fin de journée paisible et immersive. Le tour se termine par votre transfert vers votre hôtel à Chiang Rai, faisant de cette journée une transition parfaite et agréable pour les voyageurs souhaitant relier les deux villes du Nord.
