Elephant Village in Luang Prabang

Here at the Nam Khan River, we are permitted to take a dip in the cool running water of this local tributary. Here we find the slow pace Lao rural life in the countryside. After a 1.5 km steep climb we arrive at the Nam Khan valley, which some people also call the hidden valley of Luang Prabang, a dream set of mountains, rivers and small villages. Lunch break on mountain view terrace or along the way (depending on bike route). In your lunch break you can enjoy the wonderful and breathtaking view to a 1,600m high towering mountain range.

We cross the river by local boat to start our elephant experience and go out for a scenic ride along the Nam Khan, small forest or even to the Tad Sae waterfall cascades from July to January. Here you can enjoy the clear spring water which invites you for a refreshing bath. You go back to the camp by motorboat. A short and easy trek will bring you into the ‘Fair Trek Project’ area where communities directly profit from your visit. You get to know the culture and traditions of the Khamu people who live here since just about sixty years. Welcome to your hosts family!

we are working with animals and in the nature, time changes may appear at any time. (Bring shoes that can get wet, sun protection, pocket money for tips, swimsuit, towel and long trousers!”)
The waterfall is dry during February-August. Elephant rides will take a different route through river and village. Overnight stay in village and jungle camp means very basic standards.
