Absolutely no place where you can ride elephants is a good place. Avoid please
worth visiting. it deserves it. save the elephant for the better future.
Don’t go there - elephants are tied with a short chain by the leg. In elephant care places isn’t possible to ride elephant where here we saw equipment for such activity. We asked why elephants don’t have constant access to fresh water, response was that they going for bathing three times per day…
I have come here with two people they went inside but I refused to get in. Have ideals, one or two pictures can mean a moment of joy for the tourist but a whole life of imprisonment for elephants. Do research, go to places where people at least treat them with dignity don’t give money to places where they profit. It was very painful to see from far. Consider to go somewhere where people treat animals with dignity, mounting elephants leads to permanent spinal injuries.
I m still confused about this place. It looks that elephants are not treated bad... But Mahouts (elephants traineers) with their sharp hooks cause the feeling that there is something wrong. For sure riding, bathing, feeding, this are not the activities elephants want to do. But elephants needs us and our money and every camp is focused on earning money and keeping elephants in a good shape.
