Introduction:
They
say an elephant never forgets, one thing for certain you will
never forget your elephant trek. There is no better way to enjoy
some of the most spectacular scenery Krabi Province has to offer
than from the back of one of these gentle giants. We have two
treks to offer you: a two hours and a half day trek. These treks
start at a time convenient to you that can be arranged at time
of booking.
About Krabi nature elephant trekking
and river camp.
We
are based at Baan Nai Sra just 20 minutes drive from Krabi and
there we invite you to climb aboard one of our five elephants.
Then suddenly you're high above the ground and heading into
this amazing scenery where the quiet will envelope you as you
relax into the swaying rhythm of the elephant's walk on a one
or two hour trek (dependant on 2 hour or half day safari). Our
elephants are not working elephants, they work only with tourists;
some elephant trekking operations abuse their animals by forcing
the animals to trek with tourists after a long day working in
the forest, controlling the elephants with fear and violence
which can only lead to frustration and anger in these otherwise
gentle creatures. All our elephants are well looked after, well
fed and watered and above all respected, we hope and believe
they are happy; a happy elephant is a safe elephant. After the
trek we head to Sra Keaw Cave a huge overhanging cave of multiple
tiers each pillared with stalactites which we give you time
to explore at leisure, providing you with drinks and snacks.
Here you can also swim in the mineral water pool that emerges
from the cave and sample some of the local pineapples. It's
a good idea to feed the elephants, they won't forget the kindness,
but it is watching the dexterity of their trunks that is the
real pleasure. On the half day tour we give you a chance to
see that dexterity put to use as our elephants put on a working
demonstration for you. You will not believe just how clever
and strong these animals can be.
After we say goodbye to the elephants we will show you one of
the newer attractions in this ancient landscape by taking you
to some of the areas that featured in the movie 'The Beach'
starring Leonardo Di Caprio. After which we will transfer you
back to your Hotel.
