Elephant EcoValley is our recommended elephant experience in Chiang Mai. A stricty no-riding sanctuary, Elephant EcoValley takes extremely good care of their animals, and visitors can feel the resulting happiness and good-natured behavior of the elephants.
The elephant camp is set in a shaded valley of Mae Taeng district and well-watered by a stream of clean water from the mountains. The grounds themselves are beautiful, and with the comfortable cafe/restaurant area it has a very relaxed feel.
There are many activity stations set around the property, but the clear highlights are the elephants themselves. Feed the elephants, bathe them in the stream, and just enjoy being in the presence of these beautiful and powerful creatures.
