Discover the magic of the East in 8 hours: temples, rituals, tribes, elephant rides, crocodiles, lunch in the jungle, and …

The excursion is very packed - in just one day you manage to see an impressive variety of places and experiences. The rituals and temple atmosphere stood out the most: unusual, authentic, and definitely not just for ticking a box. Elephant riding and catching a crocodile were a lot of fun and added plenty of excitement. Lunch in the jungle is a big plus on its own - the location is beautiful and full of character. If you’re looking for something non-standard and truly memorable, this is a great choice.
