We are Howdah (elephant seat) Free!
We are very happy to announce that Elephant Village has phased out the elephant seat, also know as the ‘howdah’. Our elephants are getting happier every day! 🙂 You will now ride bareback on your elephant during riding activities, 1 person per elephant. This makes things much more fun for you and much more comfortable for our elephants! Try one of our intimate experiences by becoming a mahout for a day or two!
History
Our founder, Markus Peschke, dreamed of establishing an elephant sanctuary amid the jungle, cliffs and waterfalls of Ban Xieng Lom village in 2001.
Community Support
Elephant Village supports local communities and improves the people’s wellbeing. We work toward the survival and safety of the elephants in Laos.
Care and Share
Our mission is to provide a peaceful, safe home and sustainable future for elephants in Laos. Tourism activities give them the opportunity to support themselves and the neighboring villages.
