It’s an elephant camp, so you get a lot of them here! Watch the mighty but gentle beasts bathe in the river. They follow a ritual of oil and water and as a parent, you would like your kids to watch how even animals are treated with so much love and care. Elephants were used earlier to transport logs and the mahouts will explain how the elephants are trained to obey orders.
