Elephant Sanctuary @ Kuala Gandah

We visited Elephant Sanctuary @Kuala Gandah on weekend and its great for 1-day getaway located about 2 hours away from KL.
We had heard this sanctuary is a rescue center for injured, unwanted or risky elephants so did n’t expect too much. No special activities like elephant riding; due to making elephants upset they canceled these kinds of actives.

The admission is free however since its a rescue center, its good to consider donating.
Make sure you check the schedule for their show. Elephant activities and shows did not start before 2.00 pm so set your time of arrival for that.

During the show, the elephants were brought out for a swim in the river and taking bath. There is a big deck you can easily watch them and take some pictures.

Then they get back on the show which was nice and funny. After the show, the handlers bring out papaya and sugar canes for visitors to feed elephants and take photos.

And note that they don’t let you bath the elephants during monsoon as the river gets too dangerous which might disappoint some visitors.
It is a pretty awesome experience to see these cute creatures, but do not forget its just a rescue Elephant Sanctuary noting more. However worth the visit!
