Laos Soft Adventure – Elephant Experience

Laos Soft Adventure – Elephant Experience

 Luang Prabang city tour – Baci Ceremony – Pak Ou caves – Pha Tad Ke Garden – Kuang Si waterfalls – Elephant Conservation Center (Xayabouly) – Luang Prabang

Known as Lane Xang, or the “Land of a Million Elephants”, the Lao PDR historically had large and widely distributed populations of both wild and domesticated elephants. As a living icon with important symbolic connotations, Lao elephant is an animal dear to the hearts of all people in the country.

Unfortunately, as in other countries, elephant in Laos is now confronting with the loss of natural habitat (expansion of settlements, agriculture, the logging industry and industrial infrastructure i.e. dams and roads) and to a lesser degree by poaching for the ivory trade or for the export of living animals. Competition for space is leading to increasing conflict between elephants and people, leading to casualties on both sides.

As an effort to protect, and increase the awareness of the problem, some elephant conservation centers have been created to make a safe home, and socialize these animals back to the nature. During the scope of this package, we will visit the Elephant Conservation Center in Xayabouly, the highlight of your Lao travel.

  • Emerging into the culture and spirit of Laos by visiting the serene temple in Laos, and joining the Baci Ceremony.
  • Cruising the mighty Mekong river to the mysterious Pak Ou caves
  • Exploring the nature of Luang Prabang surrounding by vising the Pha Tad Ke Botanical Garden, and Kuang Si waterfalls
  • Visiting the Elephant Conservation Center in Xayabouly to see the effort to makes a safe home, and socialize these animals back to nature.
