Amongst Nature...🐘

Any trip to Xishuangbanna wouldn't be complete without a trip to Wild Elephant Valley. To get here, you will need a private car. Therefore, you have two viable options....either hiring a driver or just renting a car. The drive from town is around an hour or so, as the entrance is located on a mountain, however it is advised to combine this trip with another place to save on time.and money. We went to a place in the morning, and here in the afternoon. Because it is rainforest, I would recommend coming mid to late afternoon, as it is cooler weather. This place is huge and the cable car journey is fantastic, it is a long cable car, over 30 minutes upto the scenic spot. Here you can see the beautiful lush rainforest plants and flowers along with the wild animals, including monkeys and elephants. We were lucky to glimpse wild elephants as soon as we arrived! Coming back down the mountain, it is great to walk down, as it is great exercise and takes around 1 hour. An amazing place to visit and great to see these animals protected and in their natural environment. Highly recommend! ##tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwish
