Elephant Hills offers a range of immersive experiences that take you beyond the elephant sanctuary and into the natural habitat of Khao Sok National Park. Choose from 2 to 4 day packages that include different combinations of activities. Some of the most popular activities are:
The Elephant Experience: The highlight of any stay at Elephant Hills. Meet the resident elephants at their campsite near the river. Learn about their history, behaviour and personalities, as well as the challenges they face in the modern world. Help prepare their food and watch them splash around in the river.
The Canoe Safari: A relaxing and scenic way to explore the Sok River and its surroundings. Paddle along the calm water, guided by a local expert who will point out the wildlife and plants along the way. You’ll see monkeys, birds, fish and maybe even a wild elephant if you’re lucky along with the gorgeous limestone mountains and jungle canopy landscapes.
The Lake Exploration: This is a full-day adventure that takes you to the spectacular Cheow Larn Lake. The lake is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and dense jungle, creating breathtaking scenery that resembles Guilin in China or Halong Bay in Vietnam. Travel by traditional longtail boat to the floating Rainforest Camp, where you can swim, kayak or relax on your private deck. You’ll also visit the nearby Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can spot rare animals such as tapirs, gaurs and clouded leopards.
The Jungle Trek: Experience the ancient rainforest of Khao Sok National Park on foot. Join a guided trek through the dense vegetation, learning about the ecology and history of the area. You’ll see exotic plants, flowers and fruits, as well as insects, reptiles and birds. You’ll also visit some of the park’s natural attractions, such as waterfalls, caves and viewpoints.
