Chiang Dao Elephant Camp, Elephant
Riding, Rafting & Padong ("long neck") tribe - One Day Tour (CMOD7)
This tour starts
at 8.30am. You are picked up from your hotel by your guide. Drive north of Chiang Mai to
Chiang Dao (approx. 1hr) to the elephant camp. At the elephant camp you will see the
elephants taking their morning bath and demonstrating some of their skills. Afterwards
take an elephant ride for approx. 1½ hrs to a Lisu hilltribe village. The ride takes you
through some of the lovely forest scenery and along the river. After lunch take a bamboo
raft trip down the river for approx. 1 hr, admire the scenery and absorb the tranquility
as you float down the river. Drive a few
kilometers further to a Padong "long neck" tribe village. The women of the
tribe wear long brass coils around their neck which actually pushes the
collarbone down, giving them the appearance of an extended neck. This tribe
has come from Burma as refugees in recent years due to the persecution
of the Burmese government.
Spend some time in the village and then drive back to Chiang Mai in the afternoon. Note: This is a private tour; entrance fees and lunch are included. Elephant riding and rafting are included.
