Trekking is the major activity. Many agents
operate here offering various programs incl elephant riding,
rafting. If the Trekking tour does not include elephant riding
and rafting, it gets very cheap, such as 400B/day. There are
3 major locations for rafting. Long-neck village is 3 hrs away.
Ask travel agent. |
