Authentic Jungle Stay

The food and drinks were excellent at reasonable prices. The staff were attentive and friendly. I was able to feed the elephants in the morning, a unique experience. The guide was knowledgeable, explaining the hike and the bamboo cooking process well.
The bungalows were basic but I expected it in a jungle. The mosquito net didn't close properly and I was bitten by bugs during the night.

Unique Jungle Experience
bamboo cookingjungle hikeelephant feeding
I loved waking up near elephants. Feeding them bamboo was a special experience. The guide was knowledgeable. He explained much about the local culture. I really recommend the jungle hike, including bamboo cooking.
The bathroom was outside and without a roof. This made nighttime visits difficult when it rained.

The wooden huts are simple, with a comfy bed with mosquito nets and a functional bathroom. my balcony offered a spot for breakfast, sometimes with elephants nearby. the open-air restaurant served enjoyable dishes at reasonable prices. i appreciated the friendly staff and mahouts. Some spoke english, which helped a lot.
