Breakfast. Walk for 2 hours to an Elephant Camp where we will ride an elephant for about 1 hour. Have lunch before getting back onto a bamboo raft. Raft for about 4 hours, stop off en route to visit a Lahu Village. transfer back to Chiang Dao Nest/ Chiang Mai

N.B. This area does get a few groups passing through, and we do not guarantee that you will not see others. Having said that we will endeavour to go to and sleep in areas were other groups are not. The reason why other groups go here is that it is beautiful countryside and the river rafting is special.
Also you should realise that any elephant operations throughout Thailand (no matter how "non-touristic"(!?) they advertise as), require a certain level of custom to be viable.
If you do see others it will not be coachloads of tourists, just intrepid adventurers like yourselves!
