Chepor is already walking around and its only a matter time before his leg muscles develops and he will be allowed to join his fellow smallish elephants. Every morning before the water therapy session, we bring him around the field for him to pick on the grass!

Hi Melinda. The elephant sanctuary was an unforgettable experience, I know you’ll enjoy it. I can’t recall the exact cost, but it was cheaper than every tour operator was willing to offer and we got to be a lot more involved and hands on with the elephants than any of the other tourists. We didn’t get picked up at our hotel, but met him at a nearby monorail station. Drop Rizali an email at jungletrekker@wildmail.com, and he can sort you out with more details.

Hi there – we’re going to KL in November and I was researching the elephant sanctuary and came across your site. The elephant man sounds awesome. May I ask though what does he charge (approx) and did he pick you up from your hotel in KL and drop you back? It would be only me and my partner, Peter.. Thanks, Melinda

[...] it was a great experience. Not quite as memorable as our trip to the Elephant Sanctuary (which is still one of my favs of our entire time in Asia) but a great way to spend a morning. That [...]
