Know before you go

This is a trip where you will have activities with animals, so you must be physically prepared. Transportation takes approximately 30-40 minutes from the city.

If you encounter an elephant, tiger, or king cobra in the forest, you may have to run, but this trip will teach you how to survive when encountering these wild animals. They are raised from childhood, so they are very tame. They will not harm you. You can see, touch, and hug them just like your cat. The first place is the following:

Elephant: We will take you to cook food for the elephants, take them for a walk in the forest, and bathe them in the river. This is a joint tour.

Tiger: This is your chance to get close to a tiger and take photos. There are many types of tigers for you to choose from, with prices according to the package.

King Cobras: Here, we will be responsible for your entrance ticket. You will see an exciting snake show, including touching small and large pythons, green snakes, and live scorpions.
