An early departure from the hotel, heading to the elephant camp (a 45 minute drive), here the group can enjoy watching the elephants bathing and performing. Then take an elephant trek to the Lahu Hilltribe Village, soaking up the tropical lush scenery on the way. A unique trait of this hilltribe is that the women have unusual large holes in their ear lobes. When they arrive, the hilltribe will welcome the group with their traditional dance and then they can enjoy a walk around the village. After, a 4WD car will take the group to the Palong Hilltribe Village, there are only 1500 of this rare tribe left who will also perform their greeting dance. Finally the group will return to the elephant camp by 4WD via a dirt track road and from there they can enjoy a relaxing bamboo raft down the river.
