THE Wahnet Elephant Camp offers engaging tourism activities for visitors in PyinOoLwin Township, Mandalay Region.
This camp is home to 11 elephants – eight adults and three juveniles – providing unique experiences for guests.
An official from the camp stated, “Our elephant camp has been well-received by visitors. Guests can explore the nature of elephants and their environment, which enhances relaxation. We invite everyone to visit us. At our camp, an elephant ride costs K3,000 per person for a short distance and K5,000 for a ride to the pagoda at the foot of the mountain. We are also planning an elephant buffet and an elephant show.”
For those interested in learning more about elephants, a small elephant museum has been established on-site. The Wahnet Elephant Camp opened on 30 March 2018, with the goals of conserving elephants, raising public awareness about their nature, and creating employment opportunities for local communities. The camp is located five miles from the 16th mile marker on the Mandalay-PyinOoLwin Road. Myanmar boasts 24 elephant camps, of which 12 offer tourism activities.
