Tiger Trail Travel & Elephant Village
Tiger Trail Travel in cooperation with the "Elephant Village" has created a wide range of community support programs in this truly wonderful Lao landscape. The Elephant Camp in the Elephant Village is blended into the natural, peaceful surroundings with its traditional buildings, an Elephant hospital station, information house and other facilities. Until 1990, locals say, tigers and wild elephants still lived in this area just outside of Luang Prabang. It is definitely the most beautiful place in the Luang Prabang surrounding and visitors are welcome to the "Elephant Village" and of course to meet and learn about the protected Elephants. Tiger Trail Travel has supported Elephant Village for many years enabling the village to make continuous improvements to elephant welfare and finally enabling the Elephant Village to become completely riding-free as of 2000.
