Hill Valley Elephant Camp

Drive through the jungle to reach the Elephant Camp in Magwe Village. After a brief introduction, feed, bathe and interact with the elephants of the camp. Indulge in a local lunch before spending some time in the afternoon trekking through the jungle or enjoying more elephant encounters alongside the mahouts. Following this, embark on a short walk to the river, passing through a reforestation project set up by the camp and villagers. Be greeted by the elephants – the guide will explain their name, age, and how they ended up retiring at the camp. Trays of bananas and sugarcane will be brought out to enjoy some time feeding the elephants. Afterwards, get dressed in traditional Shan garments to prepare for the elephants bathing. Walk to a natural pool, located between two small falls in the stream, and join the elephants for a bath. Return to the reforestation area to plant a tree before heading to the main camp for lunch. There is time in the afternoon to explore more on foot with the local trekking guide or to interact with the elephants.
