Shangri Lao, Luang Prabang - Laos

Shangri Lao, Luang Prabang - Laos Follow the footsteps of an french explorer in luxury tents with breathtanking views Background

In the journals of the great explorer Dr. P.

Neis, Laos was described as a land covered with lush primary jungle. Today the natural resources of the Lao P.D.R. are suffering from the fast rising numbers of its population, especially in remote areas, where education and the use of sustainable agricultural techniques are lacking. The traditional slash and burn activities consume huge areas of Jungle and these areas provide only little harvest

for a short period of time , which will eventually leave Laos without any natural forests. One of Shangi Lao’s goals as a possible sustainable tourism provider, offers one solution to this problem by leading tourists through natural areas. This can be seen as an example of good practice for the local people, on how to earn money in a sustainable way, without cutting down natural areas. Based just 12 Km from Luang Phabang the concept and aim of the ‘Shangri Lao Expedition’, is not only to give our customers a unique and authentic experience of an old colonial-style camp and expedition, but also to preserve natural areas and give former logging elephants an alternative way to earn their living using professional guidance from Lao and Foreign specialists. If we don’t protect the Huay Sae and Huay Khot areas (more than 300 hectares of primary jungle), it would be almost certain that timber merchants and quarry suppliers would completely destroy these areas documented as “marvelous” by Dr P. Neis - one of the great explorers of the 19th century in whose footsteps we will follow. Thus our customers can be sure, that they, during their enjoyment of their unique adventure, will help to preserve those areas for the next and future generations and support elephants for a better future.

From a very well known travel company's travel brochure.

We had to have a meeting with them and show them around our camp to show them how well we treat our elephants.

We are always very happy to do this because we spend so much time, effort and money looking after them; we want as many people as possible to see :)
