4 people, 2 mahouts, 2 elephants and riding bareback to the river - an experience that I will never forget.
If you have the opportunity to bathe with elephants - DO IT. We started this adventure by feeding the elephants bananas and whole pineapples. We then hopped on and once we were in the river we were given scrubbing brushes and "shampoo" and washed the elephants. The mahouts would give a silent command and all of a sudden the elephant would sit on her back legs and we slid off. After climbing back on another command was given and the elephant would shake us off. We climbed up her legs and sat in her trunk. Not once did we feel in danger - it was magnificent.
