On pick up from your hotel, we will head northwards to the Mae Tang area, making a brief stop at the local market at Mae Malai. From there, we will continue to a small riverside elephant camp (No ride). The elephants spend most of their time here, enjoying the company of a few trekkers, as well as having some space to roam to the river. At the elephant camp, you will be introduced to the elephants and shown how to care for these lovely animals. You will spend around 2 hours at the elephant camp, with the highlight being a trip to the river where you will get to help the elephants take their morning bath (make sure to bring a swimsuit!). Additionally, you will learn how to make traditional elephant medicine from natural ingredients, as well as a natural elephant scrubber made from forest vines.

Following the elephant camp, it will be time for lunch before embarking on the trek to the waterfall. You will trek through lush forest, following a little stream to a jungle waterfall where you can take a shower under the cooling cascade of water. Afterward, you will trek out of the jungle to the rafting camp, where you will board the white water rafting boats for the 5km paddle down the Mae Tang River. In the wet season, there are some big rapids on this stretch of water! At the end of the white water rafting, you will transfer to the waiting transportation and be driven back to Chiang Mai, where you will be transferred to your hotel. Overnight in Chiang Mai.
