The first stop we have at Wat Pa Phon Phao, a forest temple famous for the teachings of Ajahn Saisamut. This large golden stupa contains three inside levels plus an outside terrace with a view into the countryside and Luang Prabang. The inside walls are painted with many Buddhist stories and moral admonitions. The dirt road will bring us through teakwood plantations and rice fields up the Nam Khan valley.

We pass the tomb of Henry Mouhot, the French explorer who showed Angkor Wat to the world. Henry Mohout perished of malaria in 1861 in Luang Prabang. We will continue our bike adventure through rice paddies and some forests before we arrive in our Elephant Park Project area where the Elephant Village is located. This wonderful place located 15 km from Luang Prabang along the Nam Khan river. Especially the views are astonishing… This unspoiled valley is one of the most beautiful places in the area.

Here is the place where we start our elephant ride. After crossing the small river you will be introduced to our Asian elephants and go out for a scenic ride. Enjoy the new perspective and the amazing nature on this 1 hr. elephant ride. A stunning and landscape, quietness, and the lush nature gives you a relaxed stay on the back of the protected elephant.
