Overview
Experience an unforgettable day of nature, adventure, and culture, starting with a comfortable ride in our air-conditioned minibus to the beautiful tropical gardens of “Chateau Orientale.” Begin with an introduction to elephants, learning about their fascinating behavior while enjoying coffee or tea. Then, roll up your sleeves and join the elephants in the water for bathing, brushing, and playful splashing—just like a real Mahout!
Savor a delicious lunch at the colonial-style “Chateau Orientale” Restaurant before gearing up for the second part of your adventure. Select your E-Mountain bike, receive a briefing, and start your ride with a boat crossing of the Nam Khan River.
Pedal along scenic dirt roads through breathtaking landscapes, visiting a traditional Khmu village and the hidden Tad Kuang Son waterfall. Immerse yourself in untouched nature, with jungle paths, limestone cliffs, and remote villages far off the beaten track.
Discover the wonders of “Ghost Valley,” a geological marvel with striking limestone formations and the historic “Ghost Cave,” once a refuge for local villagers. Conclude your bike journey at the Tad Sae Waterfall, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. (Note: Tad Sae may dry up during the dry season but remains a serene and picturesque spot with mature trees.)
Wrap up your adventure with a 20-minute motorboat ride down the most scenic stretch of the Nam Khan River, returning to the “Chateau Orientale” Resort. Finally, relax as our air-conditioned minibus takes you back to town, marking the end of an extraordinary day.
