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>

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>

is a small town and just takes you a half day to visit, but for Hoi An cuisine,
if you find out deeply, let’s spend more time. Not only having the local food,
Hoi An is an ideal spot for other region’s cuisines. As above, you know about
Ba Le well- where the locals come to bring water to cook some delicious food,
and in Hoi An, a restaurant with that name is also very attractive thanks to
its special menu. When first hearing about nem lui, nem nuong, banh xeo or ram
cuon, many people will think of South influence dishes. Banh xeo (Vietnamese
crepe) is a rustic pancake of Vietnam however each region has own taste and
technique to make it. Banh xeo in Hoi An requires a lot of meticulousness and
practice. The pure rice flours create the original and distinctive fragrance of
the dish. Fresh bean sprouts and shrimps will be added inside the cake layer. Some
people say that the sizzle of the batter mixing hot oils is the inspirations
behind this pretty name of the cake.</span></div>

<b>1. Sitting on the low plastic chair at the street sidewalk to enjoy the yummy street foods </b></div>
</b><div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Believe or not but it is true for me, to enjoy it right after the foods left the frying pan or the charcoal and hand to you. Let’s act like a local whether you are traveling in Hanoi, Saigon, Cantho, Haiphong or Hoian, find the recommended places and just sit down the low plastic chair of the street food vendors. The crowded it is, the better as that’s how we rate a good street restaurant. Watching the locals the way they order the foods then get the mouth-watering food for you. </div>

<b>2.  Watching the hustle morning of a wholesale floating market in Mekong river</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
Different from some orderly organized floating markets in Thailand that operate daily during the day time, The Cai Rang or Phong Dien market in the Mekong delta of Vietnam show its uniqueness and nowhere in the world you can get the same experience. Those wholesale markets are trading points for Mekong farmers, traders who come and deal with big volume of products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Dining the traditional meal in a local hosted family </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no better way to understand a culture if you are not interacting with it. When you travel to Vietnam, apart from what you have read from home, there are always questions in mind for what you have seen on the streets, on your way of travel. Question like; I don’t see many elderly people in streets, where are they now? Why there are a lot of men sitting in the street, what are they looking for?</div>

<b>4. Practicing Tai Chi by the sunrise in magnificent Halong Bay </b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
To name a few famed cruise operators, you might do a search for Indochina Junk, Paradise Cruise or Orchid cruise. Only with overnight cruise option, you can have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of practicing the Tai Chi by the sunrise in the middle of this legendary bay. Imagine a peaceful early morning, you wake up with the singing of the birds from the nearby rock islands, open the window of your cabin, look out and question yourself -  “am I in paradise, it it real?” as the natural setting is so impressive with emerald water and splendid rock formation.  </div>

<b>5. Being on the back of a bike and get lost in the crazily weaved traffic</b></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to get that experience in style, search for some Vespa tour agents or contact a local tour operator to arrange for it. A Vespa guy will come up, takes you around his home town like a city tour. All you need to do is relax but hold his waist firm and watching the magically chaos of traffic. It’s pretty sure that you will have a lot of fun to keep for your memory and to telling your friends home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is not a popular service in Vietnam but some travel company to have their own network of hosted families, can be in Mekong, Dalat, Saigon, Hoian or Hanoi and let check up with the travel operator if they can arrange for you. It is advisable to bring a bottle of wine or some postcards, T- shirts of your hometown as gift if you are able to make this opportunity possible. It’s worth planning and it will fill your memory of a true Vietnam forever.</div>

Hanoi</b><br /><br />A 4- or 5-hour tour in the Old Quarter offers you a chance to stroll along Hoan Kiem Lake; cover the main themed streets with a stop at several old houses, pagodas, and temples; sample Pho, banh mi, bun cha, cha ca, etc; and particularly see Vietnamese people in their daily activities. And a Red River Delta Hanoi day tour offers a chance to take part in hands-on activities at traditional handicraft villages where the traditional value of old Vietnam has long been well-preserved.</div>

Mekong delta</b><br /><br />If you are in the mood for sunny weather and warm, hospitable Vietnamese people, why not head south for some lush tropical orchards and memorable cruise trips. Removed from the hustle and bustle of Southern Vietnam cities, the Mekong Delta offers an easygoing spirit and plenty of floating markets to choose from. For sheer glamour, glitz and gorgeous scenery, there is no place like the Mekong Delta region. On touring the huge orchards, rice paddy fields and swamplands of the Mekong Delta, you will feel like stepping into another world.</div>
