Myanmar Elephant Riding
 There are many ranges of mountains thickly covered with
forests in Myanmar and it is a country that has a lot of
elephants. The elephants are mainly used for the timber
production, but because of the developed Myanmar Ecotourism,
they have been also utilized for foreign tourists in elephant
ridings. At the elephant camps, one can enjoy riding on the
elephant, the ways of life of elephants and their mahouts, the
elephants’ workers, as well as taking a rest in the forests at
the same time.
Myanmar’s well-known elephant camps are Ngwesaung Elephant Camp
near the Ngwesaung beach, Mahamyaing Elephant Camp which is 72
miles far from Yangon, Phokyar Elephant Camp that is 204 miles
away from Yangon, the camp in Alaungdaw Kathapha National Park,
148 miles from Mandalay.
 Alaungdaw Kathapha National Park is the best sight for those who
are interested in soft adventure trips and who want to go on
safari through elephant ridings. For those who have problems to
go to the above cited camps for elephant ridings, the
alternatives can be made in such places as Yangon Zoological
Garden, Hlawka Park and the Botanical Garden in Pyin Oo Lwin, 42
miles to the north-east of Mandalay. That can also be done by
nature in and around in Tanaing city, 120 miles to the
north-west of Myitkyina, the capital of the Kachin State.
As the Myanmar saying goes, “ Ride elephants for longevity “,
you are warmly and cordially welcomed to do elephant ridings in
Myanmar as following programs.
