Meiktila 20 February
Arrangements are being made to offer better services to holidaymakers who visit Shan Yoma Elephant Camp near Nant Pan Tet Village in Kalaw Township, Southern Shan State to relax their physical and mental stresses, said an official from the elephant camp.
“We are currently preparing some schedules to offer other services to local and foreign visitors. Apart from elephant ride, sightseers will be able to take a walk to a small waterfall which is about two miles from the elephant camp, and take a bath in the natural pond. We will also extend the public lounges and build souvenir shops,” said Ko Sai Than Naing, In-charge of the camp.
Situated in Nant Pan Tet Village, a border village of Mandalay Region and Shan State and about 70 miles away from Meikhtila, vacationists can enjoy elephant rides in the forest, visit a village where mahouts reside, take bath in the waterfall’s pond and take photos and videos in the camp, he added.
The natural relaxation camp was opened to public on 13 February 2018. Visitors will be entertained by ten elephants including two baby elephants.—Chan Thar (Meiktila)
