  Luang Prabang Elephant Camp

 

Laos

The Luang Prabang Elephant Camp lies conveniently on the route to the Kuang Si Waterfalls (fig.), nestled along the Mekong River (fig.) in Laos.

 

While the camp highlights Laos's identity as Lan Xang, or the Land of a ‘Million Elephants’, concerns about tourist rides, chaining practices, and limited movement raise questions about welfare, urging a focus on ethical tourism and conservation efforts.
