ELEPHANT  CAMP / TANGKAHAN

 

THE HIDDEN PARADISE 

 

 

 

This 1 day trip brings you to a very special place which is well known

 

as the HIDDEN PARADISE of  the Gunung Leuser National Park.

 

 

In Tangkahan, a peaceful village located between river and rainforest,

 

you can see rehabilitated sumatran elephants !

 

 

You can join the daily bath ritual and help washing the elephants in the

 

river ( 1 hour ) or do a 1 hour elephant walking through the jungle, which is an

 

awesome way to get close to these great giants in their natural habitat and listen to the

 

stories of their mahouds.

 

 

Or just lay back, relax and enjoy this amazing place, go swimming in the

 

river and waterfalls, take a bath in the hotsprings or walk around in the

 

village. There are a few retaurants and guesthouses available.

 

 

It takes around 2 hours to get to Tangkahan (by motorbike or car). On the way you will

 

pass palmoil plantations, rual villages and fantastic viewpoints.

 

 

 

 

...a perfect place to lay back and relax in the nature!

 

 

We highly recommend this tour for families!

We are aware about worldwides criticsm in regards to elephant and animal activities.

 

However we decided to still support Tangkahan as an ecotourism area. By booking

 

activities in Tangkahan, you will directly support the CRU ( Conservation Response Units ):

 

a local team of mahouds and rehabilitated elephants. The interactions with the elephants

 

are controlled and the elephanst are threated well. The local initiative CRU

 

was designed to give these captive elephants a better life and to protect the habitat still

 

available to wild and free elephants. Further aims are forest protection ( against illegal

 

logging and palmoil plantations), ongoing professional training for the mahouts, education

 

to both locals and visitors and essential financial sustainability through eco tourism for the

 

local community of Tangkahan. It is not an option for us to stop all activities in Tangkahan

 

Elephant camp as this would weaken the conservation efforts and programmes in

 

Tangkahan and the developping tourism which helps the locals to find other incomes than

 

logging, wildlife trade or working in palmoil plantations which in turn helps again to save

 

the sumatran elephants and their natural habitats.
