Elephant Village Sanctuary - Luang Phabang, Laos

Meet the "ladies" of the Elephant Village in the scenic Nam Khan River valley of Laos. Our Southeast Asia Odyssey tour brought us to visit and get close to the Asian elephants who have been endangered by extensive forest logging. Fewer than 1,000 of these magnificent elephants remain in Laos. Our group helped feed the voracious appetite of the elephants. We strolled along the scenic Nam Khan River to see the elephants at play in the water. A truly memorable visit with these gentle giants!

Elephant Village ensures the support and the survival of elephants living in harmony with nature and the community. They are kept away from abusive work and cared by trained staff and professional veterinarians. Elephant Village also ensures the preservation of a pristine river valley that otherwise would be destroyed by signing a multi-year lease agreement with the Lao government to establish a sustainable tourism project.
