What to expect

The trip will begin with a pick-up from your accommodation. From there, you’ll head to the Lanna Kingdom Elephant Sanctuary. Unlike other elephant-related tours, the Lanna Kingdom Elephant Sanctuary makes it its goal to rescue badly-treated elephants, giving them a home where they can roam free and live peacefully.

Participate in feeding and bathing them, followed by a riverside lunch. Then, explore Wat Ban Den's intricate temples representing Zodiac signs.

Conclude at Bua Tong Waterfalls, where you can climb the "Sticky Waterfall" due to mineral deposits. Return to your accommodation after this unique adventure.

Explore sustainably with glass water bottles and carbon offsetting on this eco-friendly tour, reducing your environmental impact.

Our guide Anna was amazing, explained in details the Temple visited and the last stop was the sticky waterfall! Definetely a recommended tour!

Review for: Private Tour with Hotel Pick up & Drop off

We loved this tour package as it covered all the key locations that we wanted to visit! Our tour guide, Chai, was also extremely knowledgable, experienced and easy to chat with — we learned so much and will definitely look for him again the next time we are in Chiang Mai. Elephant Sanctuary: We visited the Lanna Kingdom Elephant Sanctuary — a small sanctuary tucked away in the mountains. I've been to other Elephant Sanctuaries in Chiang Mai but this felt like one of the more ethical ones. I really liked the open space and interactive session with the elephants, where we got to learn more about their behaviour and engage in various activities! Wat Ban Den: While I couldn't find much information about this Wat prior to the trip, it was definitely one of the more impressive temples in Chiang Mai with colourful designs and rich heritage. Our guide, Chai, was also super helpful! He shared about his personal experience growing up in a monastery, offering a unique perspective which only deepened our appreciation for the temple. Sticky Waterfall: A refreshing and fun climb, and a good workout! While we were initially slightly intimidated by the height of the waterfall (4-stories), our tour guide, Chai, was an experienced climber. He showed us how to scale the waterfall safely before we attempted the route on our own, which dissipated any concerns we had. Really fortunate to have had him with us! Would definitely recommend! Thank you Chai :)
