A short lecture will teach you the basic communication and action commands and will turn you into a real elephant whisperer, able to experience the thrill of guiding and riding your 4-ton friend for a trek through the lush forest down to the river.

Your mahout experience continues with bathing these gentle giants, their all time favourite and a whole lot of fun.
