Welcome to Elephant Retreat Chiang Mai, Thailand – 100% Hands-Off
Discover an unforgettable experience at Elephant Retreat Chiang Mai, a unique and ethical elephant sanctuary nestled in the scenic mountains of Chiang Mai. Dedicated to elephant welfare and conservation, we offer immersive programs that connect guests with these majestic animals while respecting their natural behavior and habitat. At Elephant Retreat, we believe in non-invasive, observation-based experiences that educate and inspire visitors about the deep bond between elephants and their mahouts.
Reasons To Visit Elephant Retreat Chaing Mai:
Non-Invasive, Hands-Off Experience: We prioritize the welfare of our elephants by offering observation-based interactions only. Our hands-off approach lets guests witness the beautiful relationship between the elephants and their mahouts, preserving the natural bond without interference.
Daily Programs Tailored for Adventure and Education: Choose from five thoughtfully designed programs, each allowing unique views into the elephants’ lives. Our programs operate year-round, from 08:00 to 22:00, with options including jungle hikes, zip line experiences, and bamboo river rafting.
Volunteer Program with Immersive Stays: For those wishing to dive deeper into sanctuary life, our volunteer program offers 3-night, 7-night, and 14-day stays. Volunteers have a hands-on role in sanctuary upkeep while enjoying serene moments like meditation by the river and camping under the stars in our pop-up tents.
Guided River and Jungle Hikes: Experience the lush landscapes of Chiang Mai with our 15-minute river hike to the Mae Wang Waterfall. Alongside mahouts and their elephants, you’ll witness elephants in their natural environment, playing and bathing in the river—a rare and awe-inspiring sight.
Ethical Activities: Participate in our unique “Vitamin Cooking Class” to learn how we care for the elephants’ health. Guests can also observe mahouts feeding the elephants and enjoy the adorable sight of elephants indulging in a mud bath.
Authentic Thai Buffet Lunch: Every program includes a delicious, vegetarian Thai buffet lunch served amidst the tranquil mountains. Our buffet caters to all dietary needs upon request, adding to the holistic, immersive experience of Elephant Retreat Chiang Mai.
