Elephant Nature Park, located just over an hour from the city of Chiang Mai, is a unique place where visitors can interact with elephants rescued from the tourism and logging industries. Since the 1990’s Elephant Nature Park (ENP) has provided a sanctuary and rescue center for elephants. ENP has approximately 60 elephants in their care, along with rescued water buffalo, dogs and cats (who are up for adoption!).
The day begins with a special treat of watermelon which we got to feed one elephant, by hand Shanna feeding melon to a new friend (Laura Cahill)
After that it is out onto the grounds of the park to see how the elephants interact with each other and get to play and just be elephants. Walking the grounds at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill) Walking the grounds at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill)
After lunch, it's bath time! We head into the river and soak our elephant down to keep her skin fresh and clean. Bath time at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill)
But sometimes they just want to roll around on their own! Bath time at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill)
Then to the viewing platform for a different view, before we head out again to explore more of the grounds. View from above at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill) Elephant Nature Park snuggles (Laura Cahill) Elephant Nature Park mud pit (Laura Cahill)

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We have been working with Adventure Life for 5 years now and it is very easy to plan out our trips. Our holidays include customization of activities and side trips along with the standard packages available on the Adventure Life website. Kevin, Jess, Mary Rose and their teams have many recommendations that have enhanced our travel.

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
