“Amazing experience! The sanctuary is located in a very charming place and elephants are treated with respect and care, we fed them and observed them in their natural environment. For the hike, the weather was very bad so it was advised not to hike as it can be dangerous as the trail is very slippery. Instead the guide and the driver drove us to see all the sightseeing that we were expected to see with the hike and took us for a nice coffee at a traditional village. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience with the guide and driver being very nice, providing us with a lot of information and…”
