ELEPHANT ECO TRAILS
Guided by Nature, Inspired by Elephants
Our experiences take place deep in the lush jungles of Northern Thailand, where elephants roam through forested landscapes and follow their natural daily rhythms. We offer both one-day and overnight elephant tours near Chiang Mai, making it easy to choose an experience that fits your travel plans - whether you’re short on time or seeking a deeper connection with nature. By booking with Elephant Eco Trails, you’re choosing a form of responsible tourism in Thailand that prioritizes education, respect, and long-term care for elephants, local communities, and the environment.
100% HANDS-OFF
All of our tours are 100% hands-off,as we believe the only way to offer truly ethical elephant tours is by avoiding all physical interaction and letting elephants live as they would in the wild. Watching these gentle giants roam, forage, and interact on their own terms is not only more respectful, but also far more magical and rewarding!
UPLIFTS LOCAL COMMUNITIES
We’re committed not only to the well-being of elephants, but also to the local communities who care for them. Our tours directly support local Karen people near Chiang Mai, guides, mahouts and local charities through fair wages and meaningful opportunities. Supporting people, wildlife and local cultures, together, is at the heart of everything we do.
ECO-FRIENDLY
Protecting the environment is at the heart of our tours. We serve 100% vegetarian/vegan meals, use biodegradable banana leaves for jungle lunches, and take great care to leave no trace in the forest. Through responsible tourism, we create meaningful connections between people, nature, and Northern Thai culture, ensuring both travellers and locals benefit from every tour.
