Experience a day in MandaLao - sweet home for elephant in Laos

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elephants in Laos and throughout Asia are in an alarming state. Many organizations and individuals are working hard every day to bring this animal life they deserve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
MandaLao Camp offers visitors a different experience than the typical elephant camps in Laos and Thailand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do not ride elephants. No circus performance. Not a dancing elephant. Visitors to MandaLao simply see huge animals splashing water on the river, grasping the lawn, and snacking on the forest canopy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Tourists often ask us about the 'sanctuaries' in Asia," said Jason Baker, vice president for international campaigns at the Animal Welfare Foundation. "I told them that the best elephant sanctuaries would be pretty boring to humans, because they would just walk around and live the life of an elephant."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The "Elephant Trunk" now has only 800 elephants. The number of elephants in Laos has plummeted by more than 75% in the past 30 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Elephants are very important to the Lao people, but they are getting smaller, there are children who have not even seen elephants," said Michael Vogler, co-founder of the MandaLao elephant camp in 2016, told CNN. . "A lot of people do not realize the level of despair of the situation."</div>

Safe housing</div>

Situated on the banks of the Nam Khan River in northern Laos, the 80-hectare MandaLao Camp, with shady spaces, forests, creeks and veterinary facilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"People focus on training elephants to entertain people, we do not," Vogler said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Visitors to MandaLao can walk around the forest with elephants - not elephants - and bring food to encourage them to go all the way.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
MandaLao is home to six mature elephants and an 18-month-old elephant. They are all rescued from the logging industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They have individuality and character." As with Kitty, sometimes we have to try two or three different things to see what he wants to eat, "Vogler said. "It will not eat sugar cane unless it has been peeled, it is too spoiled."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vogler said that if everything went according to plan, the kit would not live at MandaLao. The camp management is working with a national park to bring back the wildlife.</div>

I spent 3 days there and got lucky with the weather during my stay. Upon arrival in Tuy Hoa city in Phu Yen after a 10-hour train from Ho Chi Minh city at 5 early in the morning, I was a little surprised: The town is so lovely and quiet!

This is considered as a strange geological phenomenon of nature, locates in An Ninh Dong Commune , Tuy An District. Ghenh Da Dia looks like a giant jigsaw at a far distance.

Explore Ba Be lake in 3D2N

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Having been known as the largest natural lake in Vietnam, Ba Be Lake is located inside the Ba Be National park in Bac Kan Province, 240 km Northwest of Hanoi city. You will find a huge number of things to explore here, from a vast variety of flora and fauna to interesting natural geology and scenic landscapes.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The name Ba Be literally means the “Three Lakes” in Vietnamese and it is so amazing to know it actually includes the small three lakes joined together namely as Pe Lam, Pe Lu and Pe Leng. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the Ba Be area was established as a national park in 1992, the site was soon recognized by UNESCO as the third Ramsar site in Vietnam - an important wetland of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from its beautiful natural values, the region is a home to 13 tribal villages, mostly Tay minority people and smaller groups of Hmong & Dzao people making the destination a rich culture area to discover.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1)  Transportation</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To save the time and to extend your comfort while traveling, you can hire a private van if you travel in a big group from 3-4 people. Otherwise, for a small group of 1 or 2 people, choosing shuttle bus with great quality that picks up and drops off inside the Old Quarter of Hanoi is the best option. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The transfer may take you at least 5 hours excluding stop to stretch your leg on the way so you will reach Ba Be homestay at noon. The ticket per way costs you around 15 – 20 USD/person. <b><a href="https://www.indochinavoyages.com/" target="_blank">Indochina travel blog</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2)  Accommodation</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the Bac Kan province and Ba Be Lake area is not developed yet, there are not many high quality accommodation to choose as hotels in big cities but you can try staying at the local homestay of ethnic people which is a very popular way for overnight originating from the tourists’ interest to interact with the people in their own traditional houses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNFwPUPlWBDbhS9TEOsO8hCS4xN9GVIIxRqQ4L2ev7XXSsVvsTOK96VUq0tlS5-2CXT6399BiXEM9oWKk_oyQzg7PBRwVzxyjwsH_jDancn22fTdhPgbv2crV1cgWLiMqMooWzAzs5vq8/s1600/Triple+room+in+a+higher+quality+homestay+in+Po+Lu+Village.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="366" data-original-width="550" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNFwPUPlWBDbhS9TEOsO8hCS4xN9GVIIxRqQ4L2ev7XXSsVvsTOK96VUq0tlS5-2CXT6399BiXEM9oWKk_oyQzg7PBRwVzxyjwsH_jDancn22fTdhPgbv2crV1cgWLiMqMooWzAzs5vq8/s400/Triple+room+in+a+higher+quality+homestay+in+Po+Lu+Village.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cost for staying overnight is from 8 – 10 USD/person sharing the dorm area or in a private small room at the same house. You can find better quality homestay with more ensuite equipment but the cost may range from 20 - 25 USD/person/night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3)  Meal</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dishes chosen are a combination of a healthy diet: soup, boiled rice, one or two main dishes of meat and the dessert to end the meal happily. The biggest happiness that I experience was to see the way they cook, to talk about the recipe of each dish and the origin of all food I ate.</div>

When the summer comes, the sky in Tam Coc looks so high and cloudless, which is such an incredible scene to savor. Go down to Ngo Dong River, you’ll encounter the elegant autumn lake, then ride a boat to get yourself lost in this paradise among the majestic but timeless limestone mountains. Don’t look away when standing in front of the deep blue water surface where you can feel the wind pass through the rocks, that can bring us an amazingly new flavor of the rice.</div>
