Koh Lanta Elephant Trekking – Exploring Mother Nature's Crowning Glory

The Asian elephant population is fast diminishing and the Koh Lanta Elephant Trekking experience is a fun way to get to know these gentle giants and help preserve their upkeep. These elephants are looked after by a personal mahout, who treat them like family. Currently, the Koh Lanta Elephant Trekking experience has over 2000 elephants.

The Koh Lanta Elephant Trekking experience continues through a jungle and streams and ends at a different location according to the specific trekking route you wish go to along on. The first route ends at a rubber tree plantation, which will hold a demonstration of raw rubber production.
 

The elephant ride is one hour long and falls through the luscious tropical rainforest of Phra Ae Camp. The first route is family-oriented, allowing the tourist to participate in the elephant feeding and educating them on how and where elephants live, all supervised by an experienced guide. The second route includes a visit to the Mai Kaew Cave. The third route falls along a sea gypsy village known as Baan Sang Ga U and the tourist must stop here to enjoy lunch and beautiful views. From here, a walk to the waterfalls and a visit to Lanta National Park are scheduled.

Route number four includes a bit of adventure sports, arranging a kayaking trip (at an individual's preferred pace) through luscious mangrove forest filled with wildlifein their natural habitat. Finally, there's the route where you get to visit the Orchid and Butterfly Garden after the one-hour ride.

"The elephant trek took me through some really wonderful and stunning tropical jungle areas... Usually, you'll hear a lot of bird calls, and you might see the occasional bizarre looking insect or a macaque climbing a tree as you move through the jungle... But if you're very lucky, like we were, you can also catch a glimpse of the endangered Gibbon monkey...! These monkeys are very shy, and will scamper off quickly when they see you're nearby... This picture shows some of the plant life in the area.."Thailand.
